Dissatisfaction

Stay away from this “law firm” my injury occurred July 2017 and has not been closed yet. It seems like trivial items cannot be addressed at any level from this office. The insurance companies disbursed checks June of 2022 and they cannot figure out the accounting or even get a reduction in liabilit...y from the insurance company. They do not respond to emails or provide certificate of deposit for the escrow account to hold the funds while they deal with the medical lien. They claimed they paid out $8,000 in administrative charges and could provide invoices for close to $2000 only. They provided a listing of medical invoices that were unrelated to my claim. Also be wary I was told that they would be taking 33% of the settlement once all invoices were paid but they took it from the top after they collected a referral fee from my wives case. They purport to be client centric but none of their actions fall in line with their 100% bias to their bottom line!

Most motivated and enthusiastic lawyer we've ever ever had!

Beth Ufkes came to our rescue when we first moved to the area. As a military family, it's hard to find someone to trust. Mrs. Ufkes handled our case with professionalism and in a timely manner. We had a positive outcome and couldn't be happier! We are happy we trusted her with our family's well being... and have the utmost respect for her. She has gained our business for any future needs and we highly recommend her as both a criminal defense and personal injury lawyer. Has luck would have it, she's helped us with both! You can't go wrong with her, she's a winner!!

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.
