Posted by Diana | January 02, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

You're better off Pro Se.

I retained Chris 4/1/2015 for a child custody matter. Despite my constant requests that he stop settlement attempts with opposing counsel and request a court date, Chris allowed the matter to drag on for nearly two years. He didn’t even start preparing a case until 12/19/2016 – the day before trial! ...I was not at all surprised that he failed to legally prove the required substantial change in circumstances – especially after realizing he had not even reviewed current relevant case law. However, claiming a “medical emergency” to avoid speaking with me after the judge’s order was issued, and then failing to contact me since to finish the case (issue of attorney’s fees has not yet been heard) has absolutely confirmed to me what an incompetent attorney he is.

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.
