The biggest scammer ever!

The worst experience ever, he would never return my calls or contact me. His secretary would lie and say he was in court, who later quit and spilled the beans on how unprofessional he is. Save your money this guy is a jerk off

Posted by Priscilla | September 11, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Poor service from start to finish!!!!!! I want my money back!!!!!!

I was locked up for "failure to appear to court". Lizzi was paid in full after he stated that I was going to be out of jail that Monday when the payment was made. Again, the payment was made in full. I was out of jail Wed night after I cursed them out for not keeping their word. Now, every time I spe...ak with his Secretary(not the lawyer), I find myself calling them. I have a court date on the 18th of this month(today is the 10th of the month) but I can't tell you the time because no one informed me. They lack compassion and they lack professionalism. I am on a mission to make sure no one else get treated like this again. I am now researching information in order to find out where can I go to complain about this because this is not right.

Probate action

Mr Lizzi represented me in a probate action where conservatorship was requested without basis. Mr Lizzi stayed on top of the case, acted quickly and protected the assets of the estate. Excellent job very grateful for his services.

clear up warrant in berkly county. communication break down with paralegal. 3 years nothing resolve

Still waiting for matter to clear up. I have paid according to Mr. Lizzi fee. I feel matter is not taking serious and failure to uphold agreement. 2010 he was vey reliable and informative. Last 3 years nothing maybe staff not corresponding with him definitely not me. Promise to call me back but neve...r do totally fail through this time. He is a great attorney just dropped the ball.

KNOWLEDGEABLE ATTORNEY & QUICK RESONSE TIME

While our son was in college, he was arrested for a DUI. Chris immediately went to work on gathering the facts and making contacts. Chris was able to make arrangements for our son to enter an alcohol assessment program on the college campus, and if completed successfully, it would provide him the op...portunity to plead to a lesser charge. In the end, our son's case was resolved favorably without going to trial and he was able to plead to the lesser charge. I was impressed by Chris' willingness to act quickly and take action on our son's behalf. In dealing with Chris, his knowledge of the laws and inner workings of the judicial system in South Carolina are quite apparent. Just this week, a friend of mine called with a crisis situation regarding an accident involving her son in Myrtle Beach, and I was quick to recommend Chris. She called me immediately to thank me and was sure that, after speaking with Chris, she was in good hands.

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.
