Posted by anonymous | August 08, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Doesn’t deliver on what he says

Hired mr Richards for child support and custody he told me what they could do and what they could not do and ask for in our first meeting. Once in court I didn’t feel as if he was fighting for me they asked for and demanded certain doc that I did not have in my possession that he said if they wanted ...it would be at there expense now just because of these documents and courts making me pay for them not to mention the additional court appearances and attorney fees and other cost for docs and misc other cost it has cost additional $9000 on top of the $5000 retainer the only time I have seen him fight was for his money. I feel as if I was lied to from the get

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.
