Criminal Defense Lawyer

Comment #: MD8014
Rating:1.4
Comments:
Comes to court looking drunk, does not review evidence, makes decisions and pass judgment based on personal belief and not the law. Has no patience to listen to those who stuttle speech orhave speech impairment.Very biased. I don't think she cares about family or children, separates father from children with no proof of wrong doing, insults any man who wishes to present his case after false accusations. Allowed a woman to bluntly lie in court and gave judgment based on false accusations.
