No Good

Other issues withstanding, she did not show up to court! She scheduled two court cases at the same time and I sat in court waiting for my attorney to show up AND SHE NEVER DID!!!! Not worth taking the chance on.

Thank you for your review. However, to my best recollection, there have been no Family Law cases where I have not appearing at a scheduled court hearing. While there are certainly instances where another hearing may run longer than anticipated, causing me to be late to the next scheduled hearing, those instances are not common. When those situations arise, my staff immediately contacts the courts and makes them aware of my location. Unfortunately, there are circumstances beyond an attorney's control when dealing with time in court. However, there has not been a time when I simply "do not show up."

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.
