Once Upon A Time

Long story short, I was young and made mistakes. I thought I would get a lawyer this time and have someone on my side. I Hired Mr. Milligan for a case and he honestly did nothing. the judge and state recognized it was an honest mistake and suspended my case for a year if I didn't get in any trou...ble. I still paid Mr. Milligan, no problem. He had one job and that was to follow up in a year to insure that the case was thrown out. He ignored every call and email attempt. I'm an Accountant now and out of trouble, this is important because i noticed a lot of the reviews are from people who are underprivileged and unknowledgeable. Its Important that you educate yourself and research a good lawyer. I truly believe Matt Milligan took advantage of me and made an easy $1250, but i was undereducated on the seriousness of my case and gave him the opportunity.

"Matt is a hardworking, smart, and well-respected criminal defense attorney who truly cares about the outcome of his clients' cases. I noticed the negative client review on avvo, and although I do not know the details of that particular case, it certainly is not an accurate description of the work that I have seen from Matt. On occasion, people who have created a bad situation find it easier to blame their lawyer rather than accept any personal responsibility for it. From what I have seen, Matt is extremely well-respected by our our local judges, and I endorse him without reservation."

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.
