Knowledgeable but I had to keep the facts in front of her and insist that she, as legal counsel, make the necessary phone calls to substantiate the facts. I paid her so I could do her work and had to sit right there with her to get her to make the phone call to verify the facts. She met with the opposing lawyer and talked me into agreeing to allow questionable phrasing that she said the judge would just add if she didn't----leaving me vulnerable to a second court case two years later. I had a hard time getting someone to take that second case because no one wanted to handle it after such a visible legal and political local lawyer would be refuted. I wanted to go to the state to report her but I decided it was better to get get on with my life and be happy for the one ethical lawyer I did find.
