Absolutely Stay Away

Awful experience on every level - completely incapable (or unwilling) of giving an accurate estimate for billing on a simple document review. Work product was not only subpar but inaccurate. Billed an egregious amount for what amounted to a few minimal emails of analysis. Behind the scenes mocked ...us - when we questioned the bill they blamed us. If I could give negative stars I would.

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.
