Faiza Chaudhry made too many mistakes

I had a great experience with everyone at O'Connell Law except the attorney with whom I worked on my estate planning, Faiza Chaudhry. She was cheerful, energetic, communicative, and clear about the process, but she make frequent errors and never acknowledged her errors, much less apologized for them.... On the contrary, I often felt that she tried to make me responsible for her errors. Her errors included substantive changes or omissions and confusions between different sections of the Living Trust. Yes, I had a significant confusion 2 weeks before we finalized the documents, but I immediately acknowledged and understood my mistake. The last two weeks were the most torturous. One draft after the other came back with mistakes such that I feared we would never have a final draft. Mercifully, we did. The other point I would make is that I think O'Connell should wait to charge clients the final payment, perhaps the final 1/3, until after the final, signed documents are provided. Despite the incredibly lengthy, agonizing process, I am very glad to have the documents completed.

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.
