Will tell you he can offer you the world, then does nothing

I met with Will and handed over my only copies of several of my legal documents. He told me he would take my case and I would be vindicated for a very high fee (at least double of what a seasoned specialized attorney had quoted). Will told me to give him a week and a half to look over my documents a...nd he will get back to me on the plan of action. I told him to let me know and that I could pay 75% of the fee upfront but it would take about 2 months to get the rest. After 3 months of not hearing back, Will finally returned my phone call and said he had been busy and it doesn't matter because I could not afford him anyways. He told me that he had given my legal documents to someone else and never returned them.

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.
