Don't trust this lawyer "Minor's Counsel" This lady is a turncoat in our Family court system. I personally witnessed this lawyer completely lie to the Judge on three occasions now. Once I had to subpoena her documents to get my point across. If thats what it takes, I recommend doing it. First, she believes she can interview a child in 15-20 minutes whom she had no prior contact with for more than a year and testify and recommend on that child's best interest in regards to Education, Health, and Welfare. WOW! Only 15-20 mins. WOW! In addition BEWARE she will only interview one parent and give that one parents allegations to the court without interviewing the other parent. Therefore I suggest, be ready to object in court on gender bias and state the exact code. Look it up. Ask the court to strike her statements and/or relieve her. This goes for both mother/and fathers. Remember she is a turncoat. Second, This lady Ms Carfrae, will only do what's best for herself in the eyes of the court. Meaning, no matter what, she will side with the Judge even knowing that his decision is wrong. Third, she believes the rules of court do not apply to her. Hence Rules of Evidence. Do not allow her to present testimony that came from anyone other than herself. Hearsay. Be ready to Object and Object often. BEWARE!!! She does not file any reports when the court so orders her to do so. DEMAND her to file a report and do not allow her to give any testimony until she does file the report. Rules are rules so do not allow her to break them because once she does she will continue to take advantage of her attorney title. STOP HER IMMEDIATELY!! Fourth, She will blame the party for not calling, emailing, or writing to set up an appointment. If your paying her, via monthly payments, contract, and/or PACT where does it say that the client needs to call to make an appointment. Although when you do call, write, and email Ms. Carfrae will say you did not try to contact her. BEWARE!!!
