Posted by anonymous | February 16, 2018 | Hired Attorney

Unethical

My wife and I hired Woodburn to preform the closing on my house and to do our wills. I regret ever hiring him, let alone crossing his path. Woodburn fails to adhere to American Bar rules, as well as the Pennsylvania Code, particularly when it comes to rules regarding attorney-client relationships and... boundaries that shouldn’t be crossed. Woodburn is by far the most unethical attorney I’ve ever dealt with and is unfit to practise law.
