Only in it for the money
Mardi missed every deadline and lied to me repeatedly about what she was going to do and when she would do it. She failed to meet deadlines that involved very simple things, including simple forms and paperwork to file. In hindsight, I believe she wanted to create dispute and drag my case out, so she could make more money. Either that or she does not know what she is doing. She explained things poorly and clearly did not have my best interest at heart. When I started to question her skill and her actions, she withdrew from my case. By then she had made a mess of things. The only good thing she did is give me a recommendation for a much better attorney. I learned more from that attorney in the first half hour of her service than I learned in the year of Mardi’s service.
