Personable, but follow-through fell short

I liked Ed personally, but I was disappointed with his handling of my university dispute involving retaliation. University policy gives the professor discretion to assign an incomplete, subject to eligibility requirements. The incomplete contract I provided him, signed by my professor and me, showed ...that I met the listed requirements, which contradicted university counsel’s explanation. Yet it was absent from the copy of his evidence submission that he forwarded to me. Although he raised retaliation concerns and requested university records, I was dissatisfied with his follow-through in obtaining those records and addressing the conflicting evidence. University counsel had said these matters were unrelated to my complaints. But after a drawn-out process of advocating for myself, I obtained records that, despite being incomplete and excessively redacted, centered on my OCR case and internal grievance. I expected a more thorough examination and challenge of the university’s account, which could have prevented much of the harm I experienced.

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.
