Bye Bye money

Required a $2,500 retainer and then did nothing. Every time I called he gave me the same excuse he gave others in this site. I was sick, I was in the hospital, I was in a car accident. Never did anything and my time to file a suit came and went. I lost it all.

Fraudulent

Wish I found this website sooner and saw the other bad review. When my father passed away without a will in May my brother and I hired Jim based on a referral. Neither one of us lives in MI so Jim agreed to help us with all the estate legal issues. He was good at communicating until we paid him a... $1,500 retainer. After reviving the wired money, he was very hard to get a hold of and had medical issues or family vacations whenever we called him. He did nothing for us for the $1,500 and we had to make a special trip to MI to take care of legal matters after the funeral. Death in the family is hard enough without dealing with a fraudulent attorney. I am reporting Jim to the attorney grievance commission.

Beware

Hired Mr. Williams in 2014 for my divorce. He had health issues in 2014, since I was not in a big rush, I waited to contact him again until June of 2015. At that time I really needed to be divorced by the end of 2015. I got excuse after excuse, and no return calls, texts, or emails for a month ...at a time. To this day, I am still not divorced. Needing a lawyer is a stressful enough time, but being put through all this other aggravation is unacceptable.

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.

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.
