not helpful

I have consulted him regarding a case. This attorney seems to have no interest in my case. He wanted to charge me US$300/h for getting information from UT campus police. There was no fixed cost. Also he showed no interest in helping my case, his attitude was very reluctant and lazy. And he just want ...to take money.

Highly recommended.

I was referred to Becker Law Firm by my personal attorney. Mr. Becker reviewed the facts concerning my legal situation, asked questions about information that I had mistakenly thought was irrelevant, and then gave me very wise counsel. I appreciated his caring attitude and knowledge of the law concer...ning cases and situations similar to mine. Very, very highly recommended. In my opinion, this is proof that a truly effective law firm does not need to be running televised advertisements 24/7.

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.

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.
