This is my honest experience and I share it in hopes that other people experiencing a similar situation will not make the same mistake. I honestly felt like I wasted my hard earned saving on representation with Dakota. If you can represent yourself or take the time to find other options/resources I would you want a team that believes in you and fights hard for you espically in a moment of vulnerability. There was a lot of missed communications from Dakota and her receptionist Alicia. A lot of time I had to consult lawyers outside of my case. Additionaly, Dakota mishandled my case in several ways and took zero accountability even after being adressed for her errors by the judge. A lot of details provided in the case were left out and we had no time to rebuttal due to the mishandling of my case. I felt like they did not advocate for me in the way that I would have epxected or in the way that I would have advocated for myself. The events that took place altered my life significantly. I seeked a lawyer for gudiance, but did not receive that from this firm. There was no compassion from the team that was meant to represent me, when following up with them over some documents/ follow up I never recieved (serveral weeks later). Dakota and Alicia were defensive and I received alot of unprofessionalism from both Dakota and Alicia My concerns weren't handled at all. Lawyers are not cheap! And we should not be receiving minimal effort. My recommendation would be to take your chances at another firm, if needed.
