Posted by Linda | April 19, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Family

Beware!

This guy should not be practicing family law. Sent me a bill that clearly had a credit balance going in. Wasn't due until 4-4-17. Received a motion to withdrawaI on 3-29-17 citing "client has failed to honor her contractual financial obligation to counsel making ongoing representation difficult if no...t iimpossible" . as if divorce isn't hard enough this toolbox has managed to make an horrendous situation even worse. Shame on him.

Linda: I am sorry you feel the way you do. As we agreed at the outset of my representation, I took on your case with a considerably lower retainer than usual; understanding that you would need to make additional payments in the not too distant future. I filed to withdraw only after your retainer was exhausted AND you advised that I would need to wait until your house sells before being paid additional monies. At that time, you were not even divorced and the property division portion of your case had not even begun. Sale of your house could have been a year or more away. If I represented all of my clients based on a promise to pay at some indefinite time in the future I suspect I would have been out of business long ago. I wish you the best with the balance of your litigation.

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.
