There is no positive.

MaryJeanette Dee shells BS advice. She didn't know basic legal terminology. I'm a law intern and I knew more than she did. I researched MaryJeanette Dee, and there are no records of her diploma from law school. She's a scammer. Get rid of this old hag, Lionel Hutz woman. Daughter Katherine Dee was the intern there. She was dressed very inappropriate, in a miniskirt and heels. Where does this woman come from? Katherine Dee somehow got into Penn State, though she dressed like a whore.

MaryJeanette Dee. She hired nepotism, daughter Katherine Dee, who dresses in miniskirts and high heels.

Fire MaryJeanette. Who the hell does this woman think she is?

N/a

MaryJeanette Dee is incompetent and rude. During the meeting, which took 45 minutes to wait, MaryJeanette had a habit of interrupting us. She took a call in the middle of the meeting and that was when I had enough. I demanded a refund. She refused. I'm taking MaryJeanette Dee to small claims court. She probably doesn't know what that is. MaryJeanette obviously did not graduate from law school.
