Highly recommend Greg Fidlon

Handled my matter in an expert, and highly professional manner. Dispensed good advice, was always available and responsive. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Greg again.

Posted by anonymous | October 10, 2011

Missed entire point of case, did no work and only interested in how many hours his colleague can bill you

Said it would take 2 weeks to produce letter to company. After 2 weeks his colleague sent me 20 irrelevant questions via email, then both of them said they did 't get my answers via email. Then said they needed 3 more weeks. Greg called and told me he had not worked on my case at all and I would n...eed to pay him for his colleague to transfer work back to him. I said that wasn't acceptable. He then resigned and wanted me sign a document which released him from everything. Of course I said no. I found a new attorney and he wrote the letter that night in 1.5 hours! All Greg wanted to do was have his colleague bill hours to make him money while he didn't work at all.

I am sorry that this client was not satisfied. We take our client feedback very seriously. Although I was not the attorney handling this matter, I take personal responsibility for all firm matters. As our other reviews indicate, her experience was not at all representative. I have reached out to the client and made every effort to work things out with her.

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.
