Not Good

I had an easy divorce, non contested and very little equitable distribution. I received template documents to fill in that had another client's personal information that was not deleted before the paralegals sent them to me! When I provided all of the information, I waited almost two months to cal...l them to follow up, and it seemed like they forgot all about my case. This is AFTER I had to pay the entire fee in full up front. Mr. Green did not return any of my calls, I dealt mostly with the staff, who most times did not return my emails or phone calls either. There is a QDRO document that I needed to submit, for equitable distribution of my 401K Savings Plan that was never discussed and I had no idea about. I almost did not recognize Mr. Green as he ran into court with me for my 15 minute proceeding. I called the office afterwards regarding the QRDO and was told that this would be EXTRA and that they would get back to me. Which they never did, and I ended up drafting the QDRO myself. This was unexpectedly unprofessional. Needless to say, I was very disappointed with this entire experience.

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.
