Declined without reviewing the inquiry, then urged "immediate" action on me

I submitted a detailed online consultation request in late August 2026 regarding a consumer and civil rights matter against a private company. Twelve days later I received a declination letter signed by this attorney, in her capacity as Chair of Civil Rights Litigation. The letter was a generalize...d template. It acknowledged the firm declined due to resource limitations and stated that this does not mean the claims lack validity. No member of the firm requested my case file or any supporting documentation before declining. The letter's deadlines advisory discussed Notices of Claim for NYPD and corrections officers and grievance procedures in jails and prisons. My matter involves a private pharmacy; none of those requirements applied. The same letter urged me to "immediately" consult other counsel to protect my interests, twelve days after the firm received my inquiry. Prospective clients should weigh the firm's responsiveness, and whether inquiries are individually reviewed, before engaging.

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.
