Posted by Anita | June 07, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Made no effort to prepare

He didn't do any research, communicate with me, or submit evidence to the court. I was made a fool of in court, and he couldn't answer the Judges questions because he didn't look at ANY of the evidence submitted. He said I gave him too much paperwork, and "no judge is going to look at all that." Turn...s out he was wrong, and he couldn't answer anything. He literally did no work. He didn't care at all. And because of that I lost custody to a violent, lying, unemployed, alcoholic. He had 6 weeks to prepare, the attorney for the defense only had 2 weeks, and he ate us for breakfast....the judge hates me now. I have to hire another attorney, and hope I can repair the damage, IF the judge will even hear it because she thinks I'm a 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.
