Deceptive adverrtising, deceptive office practice

Advertises mediation services, avoiding family court through alternatives. Had an important case with extensive documentation with an emergency where I needed legal advice, was assured by office staff she was definitely interested and was merely reviewing my case, made sure the day before to send her... a summary of what I wanted, and within a few minutes she became hostile and said "what is it that you wanted?" when I flabbergasted told her what I wanted was what was in my correspondence, someone to help me enforce my custodial rights under clear law, and negotiate something without having to necessarily go by the judge, and navigate tricky situations in a hostile climate. Got a rude "not interested." Asked for a referral. She had none. She and her office staff wasted my time during a very traumatic time for me and my chldren. Wasted my time and was rude. Her staff was nice but obviously not telling the truth, she had not reviewed any materials before talking to me. I suspect an an anti-Male/.anti-Father bias, common in too many attorneys these days.

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.
