Posted by Alberto | May 17, 2018 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Wont even listen

Attorney would not even listen to our side after requiring $500.00 consult fee; which was agreed too. Then decline meeting once schedule without even explaining why. Then he must be not very good basing decision without hearing side of the persons that wanted to hiring him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
