Unprofessional and just plain rude!

Explained my situation to her. She basically told me there was nothing I can do which is complete bs because I have already filed and began the process. I’m just looking for representation at this point. She’s unaware for lack of a better word. WILL NOT RECOMMEND!

Replied last November 01, 2023

When contacted, I provide a half hour no charge consultation so I can evaluate the legal issues and needs of the person who contacts me. I provide advice based on the law which is not necessarily what a person wants to hear. No matter how I tried to explain to this person her legal options based on the law, this individual could not/would not understand the limitations of her case based on what the law provides. When I realized I would be unable to meet her expectations, which were unrealistic, I suggested she seek the avice by a different attorney. I have no ill will towards this individual and tried to be professional at all times. Unfortunately she felt the need to write a bad evaluation of my free service.

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.
