I FIRED HIM

HE TALKS A GOOD GAME AND HE IS CHEAP BUT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, WHICH IS ABOUT AS GOOD AS THROWING YOUR MONEY IN A HOLE AND WALKING TO COURT. HE IS CHEAP SO HE GETS TONS OF CASES HE CAN'T KEEP UP WITH ANY OF THEM AND HE DOESNT DO EMAIL, YOU CANT SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HIS SECRETARIES AND HE ...DONT KNOW HOW TO FILE MOTIONS, HE IS TERRIBLE IN COURT, HE WILL SHUSH YOU IF YOU SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE HE IS TO BUSY FRANTICALLY SCRIBBLING DOWN EVERY WORD THE JUDGE UTTERS. I THOUGHT HE WAS A LAWYER NOT A STENOGRAPHER. HE GOT ME NO CUSTODY OF MY CHILDREN AND CHILD SUPPORT HIGHER THAN HE EVER PROMISED IT WOULD BE. THIS DUDE IS A JOKE SO RUN THE OTHER WAY

currently misrepresented by this man

this attorney should be disbarred. I have a court date in 10 days I can't get this guy on the phone. I have gone to his office in person, while he was there, yet I could not get him to speak with me at all. I have already paid this guy $10,000 he will not speak to me. I have had to go to the s...olicitor's office myself after I filed my own motions for discovery. the solicitor told me that eakes is my attorney and they can not speak to me about the case without him being present, but I can't get eakes to do anything he avoids me and I am terrified of court so do not hire this guy unless you want to be left on your own up spits creek without a paddle

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.
