NEVER GOT THE PROMISED RESPONSE BACK

Attny David Owens called me on Monday, April 29, 2024 in response to my request for a consultation, and asked me to email him information about my case which I did on Monday April 29, 2024. He stated that he would review my case and get back to me with his assessment of my options. I have sent him... several emails asking for his response, I have left him a voice mail asking for his response. I have sent him another message here on Avvo asking for his response, I have had no response although he is aware of the time constraints of my case. I would never recommend an attorney who promises you a response and then does not follow up. I will file a complaint with the Massachusetts Bar Association about his poor practice. Not a good attorney!!!!!! Be aware!!!

After receiving a message from this client I conducted a lengthy free consultation with her regarding her issue. During this consultation she indicated to me that she was not in a hurry to addresss the legal concerns involved. After attempting to contact me at 7am when the office is not open, she then accused me of improper behavior in agressive emails. This woman was never a client and her review is baseless.

Would definitely recommend

David went above and beyond what most lawyers offer in a consultation. He sat down with me and explained honestly what he felt were the strengths and weaknesses in my case. I did not get 100% the answer I wanted to hear-- but that's how I knew he was being honest, and not just trying to take my m...oney. He explained where there were gaps in the law that just would not let me make as strong a case as I wanted as a tenant. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an honest assessment of their case.

Customer fraud issue

I asked for a free consultation on Avvo and Attorney Owens gave clear answers to all the questions which I asked in my email.

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.
