PROBLEM CAUSED BY OFFICE ERROR

I HIRED MR. KELESKE TO REVIEW THE ESTATE PLANS OF A FAMILY MEMBER WITH ALZHEIMERS. I EMAILED HIM REQUESTING THAT THE FINAL INVOICE BE EMAILED TO ME. INSTEAD OF EMAILING ME AN INVOICE AS REQUESTED, HIS OFFICE SENT THE INVOICE TO THE FAMILY MEMBER WITH ALZHEIMERS. THE MAIL WAS PICKED UP AND OPENED BY ...ANOTHER RELATIVE WHO THEN STARTED AN ARGUEMENT WITHIN THE FAMILY ESPECIALLY UPSETTING MY RELATIVE WITH ALZHEIMERS. EVEN THOUGH MR. KELESKE IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PERSONABLE - THIS MISTAKE HAS CAUSED NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. I EMAILED MR. KELESKE TO INFORM HIM OF THE MISTAKE THAT HIS OFFICE MADE AND THE PROBLEMS THAT IT HAD CAUSED AND NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE. I WOULD THINK TWICE ABOUT USING HIS OFFICE AGAIN.

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.
