Posted by Gabrielle | February 24, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Civil Rights

I was taken for a ride.

I saved Ben for last. I gave him 22 pictures of an undamaged apartment door as evidence before my pretrial date. I had five court appearances. I kept asking him to show the Judge my evidence. Never got a straight answer. When Ben told me that my Judge, Walter Rivera got it wrong I decided to fire Ben.... The Judge never knew about the picture evidence. A month before, I had contacted another lawyer to ask why Ben would not want to end this court case. I was told Ben was probably holding out for the actual trial where Ben would receive a percentage of what the court would award me for a framing, false arrest, false imprisonment, denying me legal counsel and committing perjury against me by the Greenburgh NY Police. When I attempted to get my evidence back, Ben took the pictures hostage. Ben would not give them back unless I told him if he would be my lawyer going forward. My new professional lawyer told him to FedEx the evidence to him. Instead, Ben wanted to handdeliver the evidence to him. My new lawyer never consulted with me about this exchange method. I have since found out that Ben had some not so nice things to say about me to my new lawyer. I noticed a change in his behavior towards me. Never found out what Ben told him, but the tension was so there I had to settle the case without any vindication or payment of my $12,488 in legal fees. I would say this classifies Ben as an “Ambulance Chasing Buffoon”.

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.

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.
