Mark Worthley suck as a attorney

He hasn't did nothing to help me, as a matter of fact I asked him to remove hisself off of my case, cause mark Worthley is a liar and untrustworthy,,, this man picked up my case, told me he was waiting on my last attorney( MarkChaugalaf ) to send over the rest of my case file so he could read my whol...e case,,, but you mark Worthley the same day started negotiating a plea deal with the prosecutor!!!!!!! Without ever seeking my whole case,, how are you already trying to negotiate a plea deal???? And still to this day he hasn't told me weather he received the rest of my case from ( MarkChaugalaf ) now you tell me ,do that sounds trustworthy.... yes mark Worthley is professional liar

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.
