Posted by Steve | November 16, 2014 | Ethics & Professional Responsibility

A very unhappy customer and for good reason.

I was a client of this firm for 9 months. They took me for over $23,000 and did not advance my case. Furthermore when I discovered some errors in their motion for the first hearing and the potential conflict (which I was never advised of), I confronted him. He became instantly defensive and he sud...denly withdrew just days before our long awaited hearing. It took me thousands more to recover with a new attorney and had to start completely over. I completely regret ever doing business with this firm.

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.
