Posted by Rosanne | September 15, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Debt Collection

If I could give 0 stars, I would

Hired this attorney for a personal collection case. Have been unable to contact him for 5 MONTHS now. Have sent numerous emails and left numerous messages with no return contact. I have now contacted the district attorney’s office and working with them to get this straightened out. Do NOT GIVE YOU...R MONEY TO THIS MAN. He took $2,0000.00 retainer, filed some paperwork with the court and then disappeared.

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.
