Poor communication after payment

I think he and his staff did a really good job with my case as far as filing but I did have a question about 8 months into my case which I emailed the office and called about 2 times each with no response. Now my case is complete as far as my payments go but the law office has to file some paperwork ...to get me my discharge. I have confirmed with the trustee an creditors that all payment are complete but can not get the law office to respond to me as to what I need to do to get my discharge papers which I really need. Very poor communication

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.
