Can I give ZERO stars? One star is too generous

Called the office, no answer. Checked the website - so I send description of my case. Get email back saying that all cases are different and I need to make an appointment to talk to lawyer. The appointment is not confirmed until I pay $103.65 Paid the fee and waited for a call on the day of my ...appointment. Day of appointment: No call, I had to call them to ask if anyone was going to call me. After being asked for my name, SSN ( which I never gave ) and date of birth. I was informed that lawyer doesn't handle cases like mine. If I want the $103.65 back, I have to go their office in Dickson to pickup my money or get the money by check/mail. But if I have no physical address she will not send the money back. ( I have a PO Box instead in California, but that is not good enough) Apparently I need to get a physical address so I can get my money back by mail. But there was no problem charging my credit card without physical address. Problem with this lawyer: 1. Won't refund your money unless I get a physical address. 2. Should have told me that she doesn't handle cases like mine before I paid the $103.65 (I was sent an invoice) 3. Office receptionist hangs up on you, because I don't have a physical address ( except PO box ), so they won't send my money back until I get a physical address. There are no stars I can give. All of this for nothing. Total waste of time and now I have to wait to get my money back.

Mr. Arturo Koosau, Thank you for your comments. As we explained, it is our policy to have individuals receiving money from our office to come in and sign a property receipt. As you are out-of-State, and it was not convenient for you to come to the office, we agreed to mail it to your address. You would not provide us with an address. We are happy to return your money. We even sent you a picture of your check. All you need to do is send us your address. Kind Regards, Kelly

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.
