This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

The worst attorney in region.

One of the worse’s attorneys law group I’ve ever seen or heard. The whole stuff is unresponsive as well as uneducated people surrounding her. She probably is the same as her stuff as well. Very poor communication with clients. They set up an appointment for today at 11 am. When I called for zoom she ...asked me to pay which is I did and she kept saying that I have the link in my email address but it wasn’t there I even checked my junk folders. However she puts me on hold and few minutes later she is telling me provide a card number so she can reimburse the fund. She said Carrie is not going to take this zoom call. From the beginning when I called this morning,her secretary with awful English tried to blame me for something like she was saying Mrs. Caridat was waiting for you, meaning like I late for appointment I called at exact 11 am as the scheduled. Eventually I guess they just pack a fool people. So safe some times and avoid ignoring worst people on earth and find the best one’s. Woooooooooorrrrssssseeee law group in Michigan and New York.

3 Business Days Before The Interview, She Said,

"I will not be attending the interview with you. Best of luck, Carrie Pastor." Very unprofessional and cunning. I'm sure she will respond and then I will post the whole email, so y'all can see that I'm not making this up. We'll see...

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.
