Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Wouldn't trust her to settle a parking violation. 4 months after my initial consult, I had zero communication from her, but she sure had no problem sending me a bill within 15 days of reaching out. Unresponsive, unprofessional, waste of time and money.
