Posted by anonymous | May 24, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Stay away

Sue Bender fired me for not wanting to go to court (nothing was being contested but my ex-husband’s claim to money given to our daughter by my father), and let the judge settled the matter instantly in chambers- the money was never his. She didn’t show up on more than one occasion and her assistant ...was hopeless because she was dealing w her own divorce. I hired Steve Silpe who was actually brilliant and settled my case in fifteen minutes. When I appeared w Steve Silpe, the judge Joan Lobis comment was “finally you have representation.” Maybe she has improved, but approximately 20 years ago she was irresponsible and self serving. I am writing this today because somebody brought her name up and so I went to her reviews.

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.
