You'll Never Be Divorced

I was a client of Dawn's for my divorce. After our initial meeting she never took any of my calls, she didn't fill out the basic paperwork in a timely manner, and she overcharged me (the next lawyer I used charged half of what she charged and yes, I am divorced.)

Dawn cardi poor attorney

No communication. Did not prepare for case. Making money on phone calls and useless emails. Has no time for client.

poor advocate

represented me in custody matter. ill prepared; too many clients who fell for the same facade of care and expertise; always reacting, never acting; about as disengaged as the come; hurt my matter by influencing decisions to benefit her current caseload vs. my matter. long term consequences for me a...nd my child, not dawn.

Client Review

Very poor communication - updates on case; lost time in pointless settlement discussion that were really a delay tactic by other side, despite many warnings. did not prepare for critical 'final' trial date in Family Court, then cancelled last minute. VERY POOR performance and damaging to my case. ...Overbilled as well, unwilling to discuss any of these issues.

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.
