Ten-year clients trust her confidence and responsiveness; newer or incarcerated clients report being ignored after payment, with no updates or office presence to follow up. Evidence is limited but stark: 87% five-star against specific complaints of abandoned representation.

One detailed review describes an attorney who visited repeatedly while the reviewer was incarcerated, gathered evidence others had missed, and answered calls consistently. The reviewer contrasted this with four previous lawyers (paid and court-appointed) who seemed indifferent or conflicted. Limited review data, but the account suggests hands-on representation and responsiveness in a difficult case.
