A Settlement that was almost impossib

This was a very difficult case I was left handicapped due to a negligent tow truck driver. They refused to pay it was a very difficult time but Mr Eglett, wife and thanks to his staff they work together to get the case done. I want to thank them for taking care of my case. Great Job! !!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Worst experience!!!

Horrible 7 years. He went through roughly 9 paralegals. Changed my trial date several times. Didn't do his job, listen or care about me. Vacated my trial and accepted a settlement against my wishes/demands. My injuries will last my whole life. They didn't even get me enough to cover one of several ne...cessary surgeries. Robert and his "wife" Tracy are only out for themselves. Truly, do yourselves a favor. Don't hire these incompetent, ego maniacs. Your future and well being can't be trusted with them.

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.
