She was a terrible guardian ad litem during my custody battle for my son. I was always respectful to her and answered her questions. But for whatever reason I could not understand, she would be quite short and rude with me, and showed heavy favoritism towards my son's father, who was not in nearly as stable a position. She told our lawyers outside the courtroom while I was standing just feet away that dad deserved 50/50 and that the whole thing is ridiculous. She had to change her tune a little in the courtroom when the no nonsense judge was not impressed with his lifestyle, and just said she thought he deserved "some time". Glad everything worked out in my favor, but possibly having my son's fate in her hands was terrifying.
Lacks intelligence, integrity, and moral code. She was dismissive, rude and misconstrued reality in her reports. Seemingly willing to do whatever certain attorneys advise her to do, whether it be due to laziness or lack of legal knowledge is unclear. As the appointed guardian ad litem, she advised the court to give physical custody to their rapist father. I highly recommend NOT hiring this attorney for any reason.
