Did not provide adequate representation

Reinhardt failed to communicate with me on the most important facets of my case. Like my ex-parte hearing, he did not even tell me it was happening, but showed up to it, didn't fight for my case in any way, then charged me for it excessively. His secretaries failed to send me proper billing, and fail...ed to give him messages that I was sending. At one of my court appearances, his partner Bull showed up in his lieu, asked for a continuance, and I was never informed this was going to happen. And they charged me for that too. When I requested Reinhardt to fight a discrimination issue I felt I had experienced by a Buncombe County magistrate, his plainly told me that I should seek a lawyer from another district because he would not go up against the judges or magistrates that he has to appear before everyday in his job.

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.
