If you value your assets avoid at all cost

I was in a high asset divorce where I, was the plaintiff. Mr. Tanner gave me very poor advice to have the defense make their argument first. I didn't understand but went with it. By doing so I was put totally on the defense, loosing all initiative and not being able to layout my complaint at all. Dur...ing the course of the trial he didn't submit a single objection and I felt totally alone defending myself without much representation or advocacy. Additionally, the little cross examination he conducted seemed very unprepared even though I provided a considerable amount of detailed evidence supporting my position nearly a year in advance. In the end I lost nearly 80% of my assets and was strapped with significant alimony in addition to his extremely high fee. For high priced lawyer he puts out a very, very poor product/effort. I do not recommend Mr. Tanner

Diligent Attorney

Hired him for custody and equitable distribution case. Smart and effective in court and was wisely advised during the process. Would highly recommend.

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.
