Drags his feet

This was the worst lawer I ever encountered, He ruined my custody case. I had to withdraw. He was told to file an emergency custody and waited 5 weeks before he had done so. I told him my X wife was driving and drinking with children in car, and many other facts where discussed with good reason to fi...le for emergency custody. Then when he was to Serve my X, he sent to wrong address. After Medoff's secretary called and said she had a returned letter, I told her he was fired. With two days left to serve her, they still did. Afer I told her to "throw the certified letter away, you and your boss are fired".This guy is a piece of work. I have never met such an unprofessional lawer in my life. DO NOT USE THIS LAWYER. Save your money, He does not put the work into what he charges. ""Lazy"" Not with custody, and probably not any other. He's a penny saver ad.

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.
