Posted by anonymous | July 28, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Debt Collection

Stay Away! I cant give Zero stars!

Attorney Weiner and his staff person were engaged to collect a debt owed to me by a third party in western Massachusetts. After speaking with his associate Attorney Girvan, I was told it would be a simple case. Unfortunately, they filed the claim IN THE WRONG COURT. Instead of filing a claim in... the proper court (by filing a motion with the Judge overseeing the matter in which I was to be paid), they filed a whole new lawsuit in the WRONG COURT. By filing suit against the individual who was ordered to pay me he gave the individual the opportunity to file counter claims and sue me. Forcing me to hire new attorneys and incur legal fees. THE WRONG COURT – when asked why this happened, they gave nothing but excuses. Save yourself aggravation and money – find a different lawyer.

First time bankruptcy client.

I hired Attornney Weiner after speaking to several Attorneys because he took the time to explain the process of bankruptcy before I even hired him. Gary was very helpful with the pros and cons that come with bankruptcy I would describe him as being an honest upfront professional that answers your qu...estions and is attentive to your needs.

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.
