Worst mistake of my life

Seemed to be working for the enemy. It's true about the paperwork from the other review. If you worked for the state find another lawyer

Attorney disputes this review. Through out his career, he has represented state employees and they have always been very happy with his performance. The attorney has worked a limited schedule since 2018. This person doesn’t have a clue what they are talking about.

Not impressed

Knows his stuff. If you give him any paperwork, make sure you make copies of everything you want back. I made the mistake of giving him all original paperwork. Now I can't get any of my paperwork back from him, feels like I'm getting the runaround. Better yet, find somebody else to represent you.

This client received her paperwork only days after posting her review. (Not in response to the review because that was discovered later) There was a mailing issue. In her review, the client failed to disclose that her case had already been successfully filed, court attended, and all benefits paid, prior to her requesting her paperwork back. The same client contacted us a few years after her review asking us to handle a new matter. She was unaware that we had learned of her negative review. She was advised to “find somebody else”.

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.
