Posted by Rick | August 02, 2011 | Sexual Harassment

Severly Disappointed

Ms. Rowan was referred to us. We came home from our appointment with less self-respect as well as money after our consultation. She even scolded me for sharing my work experiences with my spouse, even though my spouse had been an employee of the same company for 15 years and experienced sexual harass...ment. Be aware, a very rude, eccentric lady.

Replied last August 03, 2011

I do not allow spouses to come into the conference room due to attorney client privilege, so this comment about "we came home from our appointment" does not make a lot of sense. It is the lawyer's fate to be blamed when either the law or the facts do not favor a person's claim. This person could be anyone, but some clients think that just because an action was not fair, it must be illegal- which is NOT the case. The lawyer is the messenger and a messenger with bad news is often regarded as rude or unhelpful.

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.
