Posted by anonymous | June 02, 2018 | Hired Attorney

incompetent

If you are considering this lawyer, I would choose someone else. I don't even understand how she is even able to practice. She made sneering and back-handed comments about her paralegal to me, allowed processes to play out so that she could benefit from the time and cost, and provided no counsel. ...Her information was inaccurate and her advise was self-serving. With such an important case and decision on the line, I wish I could take back my choice to hire her.

It is unfortunate that you had some type of negative experience with the Court system. It is often a frustrating system to deal with and in the area of law I practice people are often very emotional. I do not have a paralegal, nor have I ever geared my practice to benefit from time and drive up the cost - many times I end up essentially handling matters where the people who need the help lack the money to pay the full cost so I charge less or do the case pro bono (without charge). Please contact me directly if you have a concern I could address.

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.

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.
