Review

I hired attorney Donaldson to handle my criminal case at about 6-12 months ago. He was very nice to talk to only on the phone. But after I paid him a chunk of money, he never cared about my case. There were no emails, no telephone conversations, or virtually any forms of communication between me and ...him regarding by legal situation as soon as he received my fee. During this whole process, I was outsmarted by his staff members who continually told me that he had been working on my case in some means, but it was also obvious that they were telling me conflicting versions of what Attorney Donaldson had done. When the whole case was over, I asked their staff members to provide me a receipt showing the amount of work devoted to the case. It was made apparent from the receipt that attorney Donaldson had done absolutely nothing. There are much better attorneys out there, and attorney Donaldson is just disingenuous towards his clients, and offers no responsibility at all.

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.
