Doesn't Communicate Well

Mr. Russell did not keep me informed of the progress of my case or that he would not be attending a court appearance (even though he had his partner fill in) which caused anxiety. His lack of attention to detail (misspelling my name on correspondence, wrong dates used, etc) made me feel like I was no...t important to him as a client. When brought to his attention about how dissatisfied, he got very defensive and scary.

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.
