Mr. Gadson is my Hero

I am a young Hispanic mother who came to Mr. Gadson for help with my custody and child support. He carefully explained every step of what I would have to go through and answered all of my questions. When we were in court he fought very hard for my case and I could see that the Judge and other atto...rneys had a lot of respect for him. I would recommend him over and over again.

Don't bother, esp. if your'e looking for family law/divorce/custody

I went there, desperate, broken, and broke. I had just pulled out my retirement. I explained my situation to Mr. Gadson, that i receive no money, have no job (was a stay at home mom when my husband cheated and tried to kick me out of my apartment), had no family and had pulled out my retirement money... to pay him and survive with my kid. He insisted on the 7500 retainer, somehow billed me for almost 3500 dollars, THIRTY FIVE hundred dollars, for like a visit and three phone calls, and when he "refunded" me the rest, he charged me a fee. YES, a fee. He sucks, do not bother. PLEASE. Go elsewhere, they'll all suck you dry, but some will at least be better about it.

Unprofessional and unethical

He withdrew from my case exactly 1 week before my child custody case. He had numerous errors in my billing. He would pad the billing and when 'i questioned him he would speak to me as if I should bow down to him. He would always forget my name after several conversations to say my name he would s...till mispronounce it when speaking and in correspondence. He is very dishonest and unethical and has no compasion for his clients.

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.
