Lilly, Sorry to hear about the unfortunate situation you are in and although it's great that you warn Sajha members about this office, a better course of action may be to call the State Bar Association and file an official complaint against her. Every State Bar has provisions for "disciplinary hearings" on wrongful conduct by the State Bar registered lawyers and if she is such an attorney then, the State Bar may take action against her. If they do, the charges and outcome will be a part of her public profile that others who want to hire her can see. I hope you get either your money back or that she gets your work done. Good luck.
