Unprofessional and Rude

I called for the free consult and he hung up on me while I was mid sentence after stating that my case was too minor for him to deal with. Even if I had a case that had more money involved or knew someone that did, I would DEFINITELY not pay for this lawyer nor would I recommend him. Unprofessional a...ttitude and behavior.

I don't recall this specific telephone conversation. Please consider the possibility that your call was dropped due to a failure in cell/telephone service. Each year I provide countless hours of free legal advice to our community over the telephone. Thanks.

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.
