Unsatisfactory estate administration, poor communication, and excessive fees

I retained Paul Newman Bankston to handle my family's estate, and the experience was deeply disappointing. Communication was a persistent issue; it regularly took weeks to receive a response, and the information provided was unhelpful. Throughout the process, there was a severe lack of active advocac...y and proactive management, which ultimately cost my family a significant amount of lost time and money. Furthermore, the billing was excessive and entirely disproportionate to the value delivered, with high fees charged for minimal progress. His handling of the matter caused unnecessary stress during a difficult time, and I cannot recommend his services for family estate administration.

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.
