Misalignment With Client Goals

I retained this attorney for a family law matter and later terminated representation. During my case, there were recurring issues with punctuality and availability. He arrived late to hearings and mediation, and on more than one occasion mediation was affected due to scheduling conflicts with other m...eetings. Communication was also a concern. My retainer depleted quickly, and I did not feel adequately advised on strategy before being encouraged to settle early. At times, disagreements between the attorney and his paralegal occurred while I was still on the phone, which I found unprofessional. While billing statements were provided, the representation did not align with my goals or what I expected for advocacy in a family law matter involving a child. Prospective clients may want to ask detailed questions about availability, delegation to staff, and case strategy before retaining.

Attorney Who Understands Client's Needs

I was facing a custody and child support case. I realized very late that as a Father and the initiator of my case I needed an experienced professional on my side. Mr Lopez worked through the night and positioned me so I was awarded joint legal and physical custody. He explained the truths and ...consequences. I will continue to use his services.

A lawyer that truly cares for his clients!!!

I had a family issue arise. He was quick to awnser my phone call and available 24/7. He explained everything thoroughly and clearly. I will definitely be giving him a call again if i ever seem to need a lawyer. With so many lawyers around this area, I needed an aggresive lawyer on my side. Apart fr...om being a very knowledgeable attorney what I liked most was the accesibility and attention I was treated with. I have not had the same experience with other lawyer I have dealt with.

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.
