Real Estate

Attorney did not address the upmost concern I hired him for that was clearly in our consolation conversation. Easements/improvements to a residential property purchase. When questioned him, he said "you already signed" WHAT? I expected guidance before I proceeded.. Also, I am Dissatisfied with a CON...DITION that was not met, no guidance was offered. and that I do not have verifiable proof of the "Condition" agreed. I emailed my complaint & still do not have legal proof of agreement. He did present another issue of charges that were Not in Agreement that was in my consolation discussion.

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.
