Posted by Matt | April 20, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Was not impressed

Contracted him to work several angles to address a FLOFR matter. The deal was under a flat fee basis and he made one written attempt to ameliorate my situation. With zero success, he then quit the case and didnot proceed with any other strategy. He did offer to work different angles on the case if we... moved to his hourly rate.

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.
