Save your money

First couple of times I talked to him on the phone and first time meeting him he seemed caring and someone I could trust. He sounded very knowledgeable and confident. He wasted no time filling paperwork for child custody and that's all he did after being paid. I paid him $3,500.00 and in court he vol...unteered more time to the other parent. I filed for sole custody and told him I would be comfortable settling for the other parent to get every other weekend because of all the circumstances with our situation. He talked like he understood but clearly did not. Secretary is rude and sounds annoyed that the phone rang. He doesn't communicate with you, you have to call them and leave a message to call you back, which is understandable except when he tells you he will call you before your court date and go over things. I didn't pay him to fight for the other person, I paid him to help me. Neither the judge or the other lawyer even mentioned about getting more time with the child. So there was no need to volunteer to change the custody agreement that both parents were okay with. The other parent has their own lawyer, they don't need mine to advocate for them.

Great Attorney Highly recommend him

Mr Deroberts went above and beyond for us in our custody case. He is a very honest to the point person and doesn't give you false hope .He fought hard and got the us what he promised .I'd use him again if needed and highly recommend him to anyone . His assistant's are very friendly and go out of thei...r way to help in any way they can .Truly a law firm who really cares about their clients .

Awful, horrible attorney!

Awful awful awful! When he gets you in for a consultation, he will tell you everything you want to hear. And as soon as you hand over that retainer fee, it’s all downhill from there. He talks too fast and won’t let you get a word in. When you manage to get a chance to speak, he proceeds to talk over ...you. He handled my custody case so poorly and cowardly bowed down to the other attorney in court. My ex was awarded everything he asked for because DeRoberts didn’t fight for me. He agreed to things I did not want to agree too and now I’m stuck with them the way they are. Find yourself a different attorney to represent you if you want to win your case!

Just Hired Him, Lets see...

After reading a lot of reviews of different attorneys....and also negative reviews for Jeff. I just followed and listened my heart click and I met Jeff, a couple of days ago and hired him. He is warm hearted and caring. He looks confident and also asked me to relax as he will do his best. Lets see ho...w the things move now. Im very hopeful after i met him.....I will also rate him later and will further update review after my case is done.

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.
