Questionable accounting/slow

Attorney should provide monthly itemized bill. She has non refundable retainer and outdated contract and paperwork that could be done online. Received zero documents yet bill stated she had worked on case for umpteen hours with thousands of dollars in fees. I did not trust her and decided to use ...another attorney that had a refundable retainer fee and was more organized.

incompetent?

I am reviewing my divorce documents that were done by this incompetent lawyer. There were so many mistakes. Don't bother: you are better of doing it yourself.

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.
