This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Big mistake

After taking my money with full knowledge of the circumstances he files a motion makes a phone call hearing then withdraws from the case walking away with $2000 leaving me completely screwed. Did not fight for me and my daughter at all. Did not bring up anything relevant in hearing. He accepted the c...ase took the money and walked away 2000 dollars richer knowing about everything before accepting the case.

Attorneys are sometimes required by ethics rules to withdraw from a case. When this happens, bad feelings can be a result. I understand your frustration, but I believe withdrawal from the case could not be avoided.

Outstanding

Mr. Washington is a very knowledgeable attorney with experience that really works hard for his clients. His understanding of the legal system, and communication skills are next to none. Amazing........I would reccomend him to anyone.

Very Proffessional

Mr Washington is a very good communicator. The last attorney I had took my money and barely explained what was transpiring with my case. I see a striking difference in the last counsel i obtained. Mr Washington deserves five stars in my book.

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.
