Posted by anonymous | October 15, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Once he takes on your case,

he becomes completely unresponsive. He ignores calls, fails to take action, ultimately mishandles the case—and then tries to shift the blame onto you.

Replied last October 23, 2025

Your review reflects that you are disappointed by the outcome. But since you are anonymous it is impossible for me to address your issue or know if you are indeed a client. If you email me I can respond in a meaningful manner. If you feel I have placed your outcome on you or your circumstances, unfortunately clients can testify or act in ways that can undermine their case. Without knowing what you are referring to, I cannot speak to how that may have applied to your case.

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.
