Fell short of expectations

I was extremely disappointed with the level of attention and understanding shown in my case. After several months of representation, it was clear that basic facts were still not understood which seriously undermined my confidence in the advice I was given. Communication felt rushed and inattentive an...d I often had to correct misunderstandings that should have never occurred.

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.
