A terrible experience: I had a problem, so I hired him. Now I have two problems.

I hired Seth in March 2015 to handle a license suspension issue for me. At first, he was very responsive, always personally answering the phone and responding to emails. He diligently took my information, had me sign a retainer and then charged my credit card for the fee he quoted of $850. After t...hat, I never heard from him again. I called about 10 times, left 2 voice mails, and emailed 2 times. By April I had given up, and in my final voicemail said that the uncommunicative way in which he has conducted himself had led me to no longer require his services, and that I would like a full refund. Of course, I have not heard back. I am currently exercising all available legal recourse to recover the money.

Unsatisfying

Never informed me about upcoming letter of License suspension. Very poor communication. Rude, abrasive on the phone....

The Worst!

Hired them to firgt 4 traffic tickets and lost all 4! No follow through, they never contacted me when they lost and I almost lost license as a result! Paid hefty fines and hefty fee for them. Neverrrrrr use these guys!

STAY AWAY

Hired him to do 2 things: (1) advise on a traffic violation matter and (2) appear in court on my behalf. He did neither. Also wouldn't respond to calls or emails. Charged me $500 up front for essentially valueless service. I had to call the court to find out that the fine was paid on my behalf a year... later. The fine wasn't even all that expensive (under $100). I could have done that myself! Bottom line - stay far, far away from this guy, his practice is a total sham.

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.
