100% Unresponsive

Messaged Mrs. Riggins directly from site in which she'd responded several days later stating she rarely ever looks at this site to check message & provided her direct email asking for me to provide information of issue there. I'd sent at least 3 messages and left 2 maybe 3 voice messages all ignored.... Not even a professional courtesy to advise potential for case, not area of practice or simply not interested. Incredibly disheartening considering she was recommended for Landlord/Tenant law which seems few to none lawyers practice in this area of law. Those who do seem to represent for Landlords only none for tenants. Avvo should QC all lawyers advertised on this site and remove lawyers like Mrs. Riggins. Mis-leading and false advertising to say the least.

She’s a scammer

I am writing my sad and bad experience with this person who does not honor her profession. She misled me from the first day I met with her regarding an eviction order from a property I bought with tenants. She told me that the eviction order would be sent the next day. According to our conversation a...nd based on the documentation that I gave her, she assured me that legally I had the right to evict them. In conclusion, after receiving her money, she demanded full payment immediately, because until she received it at her bank, the process would not begin. Mrs. Riggins never executed the eviction order and when I asked for the copy she avoided me and was upset that I called her responding aggressively. Months passed and I never worked on my case. I did my own research and confirmed my doubts that this woman is a scammer. She collected the money and didn't call me except when I sent her a messages and have hung up the phone on me, so h she ended up resigning. I did my own research and found information on how to protect myself from scammers like her. I have my rights and I will enforce them. I do not recommend her and I will regret hiring her all my life. I still haven’t been able to live in my house I bought and to top it off I continue to pay the rent for what I currently live. She is a vile ,evil ,cold person and SCAMMER. I do not recommend it. I gave 1 star just to send my review. 0 star for her.
