Failure

Phinney was hired due to a breach of contract, gross negligence by contractor costing me thousands in payment. He called me one time to update me on status. After that, he ghosted me, never numerous requests to return my call. He did not even have the decency to return my original documents.

Could not have been better!

His assistant Paris is the best and made a very bad time in my life better. Her and Sean were happy to answer the TON of questions that I had and very quick to return my calls. Sean was blunt about the stressing parts of my case and up front about about what I should expect.

Posted by Bobby | May 06, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Top notch.

We hired Mr. Phinney to represent us in a child custody dispute which involved my ex mother in law keeping custody of my son which she had temporary custody of at the time. At the hearing he had her so nervous and raw that she could hardly answer his questions. This is one of those lawyers that is ...not afraid to scrap, grilling her about her drug use and making poor choices. In the end we got what we wanted and would highly recommend Mr. Phinney.

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.
