I was involved in a legal matter being handled by this law firm, and based on both their…read morecommunication and lack of communication, my opinion is that they lack a basic level of courtesy, to the point that it impacts their professionalism. They contacted me, asking me to provide information that would be of assistance to them. I was neither a plaintiff, defendant or otherwise client, more like a witness. The initial request (from their Paralegal Alissa) was quite rudimentary to the point where I almost decided to just ignore it, but in the interests of justice, I took the time honor her request & to write and send the requested information directly to attorney Van Nuland, at a provided email address. I took well-over an hour of my valuable time, to be as informative and accurate as I could be, and neither partner/attorney Margarita Van Nuland, paralegal Alissa, nor anyone else from the law firm could find the time or common-courtesy to respond back with even a simple acknowledgement that they'd received my email, let-alone thanking me for my time. The email never did bounce back to me, so I do assume it was received. I find that abhorrent, disgusting, and very unprofessional for any business, let-alone a business that's supposed to have a belief in ethics. Believing the treatment I received was standard, I think its fair to assume that some people this firm contacts for information rightly ignore the request, and thus the firm operates without an abundance of facts & opinions which may support their clients. Because of that, my opinion is that potential clients should go elsewhere.

When a co-worker missed two months of work for a life-threatening cancer operation, he continued to pay her wages! (Who does that?!) He worked fiercely hard for his criminal and divorce clients. If I ever wasted money on an attorney, I would give him my pennies. La Crosse, Wisconsin (not California!)

He brought us to court for frivolous things like having my parents pay child support. I was awarded $2500 in lawyer fees from the judge. He let his office watch videos of my husband and my sexual encounters, as my husband was secretly filming without my knowledge. My ex is still on probation.

My opinion is she doesn't take the time to dig into details to accurately represent you. More of a "turn and burn" style of cranking through cases.

Would I hire her again? ...nope...I think there are better choices.
