UNPROFESSIONAL AND UNPREPARED!

UNPROFESSIONAL AND UNPREPARED! Tamika McKoy initially impressed us with her professional knowledge and experience when we sought her legal representation for our daughter. However, it was all downhill from there. Throughout the entire year and a half long legal process, she kept us and our daughte...r completely in the dark: NEVER communicating with any of us prior to court appearances and only RELUCTANTLY and BEGRUDGINGLY responding to our requests for updates afterwards. For one scheduled court date, Tamika failed to show up. We had to track her down through her office assistant, who resisted our requests to reach her, stating that she was busy. For the other scheduled court appearances, Tamika continually seemed unprepared. At the final court session, she did not provide any appropriate counsel or guidance to our daughter for her court testimony (or that she would even need to provide any testimony). We never got a clear sense of how, or how much, Tamika was advocating on our daughter’s behalf. We virtually had zero communication with her. We were very unhappy with her representation and DEFINITELY would not recommend her.

Case Dismissed

Great lawyer ! Got my case dismissed with her eyes closed. On top of everything she does and communicates through the entire process. Thank you once again!

You did a fantastic job advocating for my son with little information and knowledge of who he is. Job well done

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.
