Posted by Bill | February 21, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Response to review of April 2014

This particular client was extremely difficult from day one. She insisted upon micromanaging everything our office did, often re-writing the documents. She knew exactly what the agreement said but had "buyer's remorse" when things didn't turn out the way she assumed they would. She tried a number of ...times to sue me only to be told by those attorneys I had done nothing wrong. She filed a grievance with the SC Bar and both the original investigator and the full panel told her I had done nothing wrong and she had no grounds for a grievance. I was advised to sue her for defamation but that is not the way our office does things.

Untrustworthy and inattentive

Bill Clark handled a family law matter for me four years ago and I am still paying, emotionally and financially, for the mistake of having hired him. During our initial consultation, he made a good impression. He had an "AV" peer review rating on Martindale Hubble (which I've since found out is meani...ngless). Post initial meeting, it felt like a do-it yourself divorce. Legal documents prepared for my review were sloppy, communications were difficult, and advocacy was mostly non-existent. After hiring him, I found out that he had what I considered a conflict of interest. If he had been upfront, I would not have hired him. He assured me the undisclosed relationship would not be an issue. In the end, his "representation" blindsided me. I am still dealing with the legal mess he created.

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.
