Greedy lawyer without Ethics

This guy begged me for my case and then screwed me bad. He has NO character or ethics and will lie in front you. All he cares for is his money. He is really bad in all he does and have limited or NO knowledge of law. Very crooked lawyer. Total jerk. My opponent won easy as judge would not believe any...thing he says. Liar.

Highly recommend

I own a business in Central New Jersey. I had a complex legal issue regarding a non-compete agreement. Mr. Siegler handled the matter very competently and professionally. I would highly recommend him for this type of work.

Great Lawyer

I have no hesitation recommending Steve. He handled my breach of contract claim great. He kept me informed every step of the way.

Can not recommend

After an initial conversation over the phone the attorney contacted me several times to handle my case . I felt I could trust him since he provided en example from his own life experience. The big negative, is his poor response times. It is virtually impossible to get him either on his direct number ...or office number. When he left for vacation i was not informed. It sure did give me lots of additional anxiety when I was not able to contact him and get a timely response. Had to fire this attorney, but unfortunately for me it was to late on my case. I can not recommend this attorney.

This does not sound like an honest or accurate review. I do not contact potential clients "several times" to handle their case. Nor have I been fired by any clients. In addition, this "reviewer" also cut and pasted comments from a previous reviewer. It does a disservice to other reviewers and this website when someone maliciously publishes a false review.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Siegler handled my case very well. He was recommended by a friend. True like other reviewer it is hard to get a hold of him sometimes but he worked hard for me. I would definitely recommend him.

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.
