Unavailable/rude/unprofessional

Ms. Richardson's information sent via mail stated that she would answer questions we had; however after 2 phone calls, which she never returned (She was "out of town" or "out of the office") & an evasive conversation with her assistant via phone, we emailed her. (There was only a physical address ...& phone number on her letterhead- the assistant gave us the email address.) She did not respond to our first two emails, but when we wrote a third time stating we expected answers to legitimate questions, she finally wrote back. She did not answer the questions we had & made accusations regarding our motives rather than giving us clarification on our case. Ms. Richardson was initially unavailable & once we did make contact with her, she was rude & unprofessional. Surely there is a better lawyer in Marietta that will be sincerely attentive & respectful.

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.
