Courteous and Professional
I’ve worked with Colleen on a number of different projects and she always went above and beyond the necessary. Courteous and professional, she always delivered results in a timely manner, as well. Will highly recommend her legal services to colleagues.
very bad experience!
My experience was horrible. We had an agreement and then right before I needed her representation she pulled out based on false information. I am a whistleblower and so there are things that need to be private. I shared with her factual information and she claimed I provided false information about my name, age and location but she was wrong. The point is she willl leave you after you already have an agreement, you turn down other legal counsels and will leave you to fight the wolves for yourself. And will also falsely accuse you of misrepresenting yourself. Do not take a chance with her! All of this happened to me and I hope it doesn’t happen to someone else
