Never return calls

I have left several messages wanting a status for my case. I am a struggling single mother and coming up with a retainer over three thousand dollars is no easy task. He makes time to bring you in, and acts so desperate to sign you up like a car salesman. I should of listened to my guts but again when... you are desperate... It been a month and nothing from his office! Stay away!

NOT RECOMMENDED!

I was a client of Mr. Hershkowitz and shortly after I retained him the problems began. He was late to court the very first appearance he made on my behalf, and the communication in regards to the status of my case dropped down to almost nothing. The paralegal was unprofessional and short with me whe...never I called to speak to Mr. Hershkowitz and I was put on a waiting list for him to return my calls which went non-returned for weeks and months on end. He never finished the job that I hired him for and now he put a lien on my file.

Not recommended

I am a client of Mr. Hershkowitz. I have issues that began shortly after retaining him. No documents have been provided to me, even when specifically requested. A huge item in the case wasn't even known of by the Paralegal until I asked about it, and now it is too late to file.

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.
