Worst advice imaginable

Worst advice I've ever received from an attorney. It wasn't April 1st but the consultation felt like Fool's Day.

Posted by Chris | August 09, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

CEO

I "DO NOT" recommend this law firm to anyone. I had a very unpleasant experience with Mr Kinnard and Joe his paralegal. After talking with Joe about my case we agreed on a price with Terrance’s approval. I had two meetings with Terrance Kinnard before my court date. At both meetings Terrance gave me ...a lot of false hope. In a desperate time honesty is important. I was told one thing from Joe the paralegal and another from Terrance. On the day of court Terrance was unfamiliar with events that had taken place with my case. After court my fiancé was notified about a fee dispute. We were given a two hour window to pay "DOUBLE" the amount we originally agreed upon and if not Terrance was taken himself off the case. "DO NOT HIGHER KINNARD IF YOU WANT HONESTY AND PROFESSIONALISM"

Thank you for the valuable feedback. I was just alerted to your Avvo review. I am truly sorry you were less than satisfied with our efforts. As you know your case had several significant challenges most of which involved matters outside the State of Indiana. Truly, Joe and I did our best in communicating with all the different parties, both inside this State and outside. Even though our efforts did get you the result you desired, we are very sorry that it took us several days longer than we anticipated. Our intention was never to deliver you false hope. We did our very best to get other judicial agencies to move as quickly as possible. However, as you know, I coordinated with your attorney in your home State as I am only licensed in Indiana and the matters outside of Indiana were beyond my control or ability to correct. We are sorry that you were not 100% satisfied. We take client satisfaction very seriously. Rest assured we will use your input to improve our services in the future. If you desire, please feel free to contact us. We would love to get your direct input on how we could improve our services.

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.
