PROMISES THE WORLD, BUT DOES NOT DELIVER

I received a lot of promises of things like personal service agreements, arrangements to be paid for providing services for my mom. I never received anything. I spent over a year gathering documents, bank statements etc. Then I'm informed that my mom makes too much money each month and I should wa...it till she runs out of money before applying for Medicaid. Well that turned out to be the worst advise I ever got. After providing $4,000 to Ms Hollister I got actually nothing done. When I asked for a partial refund all I got was a voice message stating she did all the work and there will be no refund. I called and asked for a phone conversation but got none. My advice would be careful when dealing with this attorney, she promises the world, uses all these legal terms for things she can do for you but does NOT DELIVER. I guess the clue is she always said, don't forget to bring a check. This is part of why people in general dislike attorneys. All smiles at first but fail to live up to the talk. My advice which is free, go somewhere else!!

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.
