Disgusted father whose biggest mistake was hiring Cashman

After eating my entire $5,000 retainer, Mr Cashman demanded another $2,500 just to continue. After spending $7,500 and not gaining one minute with my children MR Cashman mailed me a letter in which he tells me that I could not expect the court to force my 14 year old daughter to visit me........ S...HE WAS 10 CASHMAN!!!!! I want my money back your the worst lawyer I ever encountered and I wouldn't hire you to take out my garbage.

The worst of the worst

I have never met a lawyer as unprofessional as Bill Cashman. He is unaware of most important facts in the cases he brings and his manner in the courtroom consists of little more than insulting his opponents. His own interests come ahead of his clients' and his first priorities are his own fees and hi...s vanity. I would not hire him to walk my dog.

doesn't pay attention to details

went through a difficult divorce with this attorney. He doesn't pay attention to details and I believe got clobbered because of it. Very passive, typically lets the other side take the lead and reacts to it. Often asked me what I wanted to do rather than make suggestions. Lost paperwork frequently. D...idn't have much of a plan throughout the divorce action. Often refers to his relationships with other attorneys and judges as a benefit, but I didn't have a single instance when I thought it benefited my case. I would not recommend him

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.
