Attorney has little knowledge of subject matter

We retained this firm in 2010 and their work on our case was slow and they were very abrasive to the client and ignored repeated requests by the client to discuss the case with the family. The firm takes on cases in which they do not have knowledge about the subject. Their entire goal was to get the ...client to take a plea rather than to find creative and substantial ways to fight charges. They are condescending and arrogant in respect to the case that was assigned to them. In the year that we retained the firm -- they visited the client less than 4 times to build the case--and it was usually 15 minutes before the hearing began -- giving little time for strategy or understanding of the situation at hand. They will not fight for your client, rather, would elect to put the case to bed by having you take a plea--even when there is mounting evidence to show there are mitigating circumstances.

  • 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.
