Worse lawyer in 757 area

At first Mr. Sacks act like he was going to do any and everything to help us we our case but once he received our money he stop answering our phone calls and was not helpful at all. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT HIRE HIM TO BE YOUR LAWYER HE JUST WANTS YOURS MONEY. He takes on to much and always acts like h...e is to busy to help with your case. I regret hiring him to be my lawyer

Supreme Court Ruled again Mr. Sacks

In a November Supreme Court ruling , they found Mr. Sacks as "ineffective Counsel", in 3 areas of my case. We hired him in 2009. He started off efficient, ended up DEFICIENT. It was a nightmare. He was quite sidetracked with other matters. Had too many cases. Doesn't win that much anymore. All abo...ut plea deals. Withheld expert information from me and my paying Mom. Information that we paid for. He will never go after the Cops Investigations or Prosecution to establish reasonable doubt. He is so much more. I will not repeat. Please don't Be swayed by his long past successes. He cost me 7 years of my life. He is my far, the biggest mistake I ever made , hiring him. Won't return calls, cares about his money more than his clients. Stay Away. You have been warned.

At first he seemed he was interested in helping, but seem distracted with other cases he was taking on. I believe he was more interest on money flow then his clients . Some of same complaints from previous clients that had same experience. I hired him to represent my son. I have been getting differe...nt stories form my son and from him. Does not follow through on what he was asked to do. Does not get back to you right away. Staff seems to be the only good in his practice. He talks a big talk with no results he needs worry more on his clients then on who he is up against. I would not recommend him in the future.

Wish we had known.....

Mr Sacks is a very well mannered lawyer. So much so that when he is up against a tough prosecutor or Judge that he admires, he will not be your advocate. He instead tells his client how this or that is just not done in the legal system. He is constantly boasting about how hard he works, his office e...tc but things just continue to slip under the table. His office staff is amazing but there are just not enough hours in the day to appropriately accomplish all the work he takes on and therefore he misses many things that he was suppose to do for his clients. He always takes your calls and will listen but don't think for a minute that he remembers 1/2 of what you asked him to do. In total agreement with the review dated Feb 18, 2017. We will forever be saddened by our choice of counsel.

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.
