Posted by Sofia | December 26, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Incompetent and unscrupulous

I retained Richard J. Margolis to sue the person that caused me grief. Behind my back, Richard prepared a lawsuit against the wrong person, harassed that innocent person, and disclosed my name and address to that person. That innocent person contacted me and I learned that Richard was going after the... wrong person. I first thought that Richard, through incompetence or negligence, just made a mistake of identity going after the innocent person with the same name as the guilty one. But Richard told me that I would be better off "squeezing" the richer person, even knowing well that she is not the one responsible for my losses. I refused to sue the wrong person. This attorney stopped communicating with me. The deadline is upon me and I do not even know if I still have an attorney. Richard did not return the documents or photos that I gave him. I feel dirty after being his client.

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.
