I retained this attorney to represent me in my divorce. The communication was often difficult, with numerous calls going unanswered and responses frequently coming through staff rather than directly from the attorney. I scheduled two separate appointments specifically to meet with the attorney. For the first appointment, after traveling to the office, I was informed upon arrival that she would not be meeting with me because she was at home with her sick son. For the second appointment, I took time off work and drove approximately 3 1/2 hours for a scheduled Monday meeting, only to be told upon arrival that she had left town. The most concerning issue occurred after my scheduled mediation. I had not received any updates, so I contacted the office and was informed by the assistant that the mediation had been canceled. Initially, I assumed the cancellation had come from opposing counsel, but I later learned that my own attorney had canceled it. I was not consulted before the cancellation and was not notified in advance. The explanation provided was that mediation could not proceed without formal discovery. At that point, I was asked to provide an additional $10,000 retainer. The lack of communication regarding such a significant decision left me feeling that my interests were not being adequately represented so I decided to start fresh. I found Natalie Wallace who worked through the weekend to meet deadlines that had to be met. She is amazing and I highly recommend her. Every client's experience is different, but based on my experience, I was disappointed with the communication, the handling of scheduled meetings, and the cancellation of mediation without my prior knowledge. read more
