Posted by anonymous | July 26, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Missed the court date with no call.

Was hired back in 2009 for custody case. Didn't show up to one of the first court dates due to "flat tire", and having to change it. NO calls to the court, and I was hanging to dry. Hands at the court house when he showed up, well after the hearing was over, were clean as a whistle. It didn't help hi...s story that friends and I had seen him at the bar many nights out in Whitewater. Once retainer was spent we parted ways. With him as my lawyer, I got my child every other weekend. I have a clean record, the mother of my child had numerous charges from drugs to forgery. Fast forward a few years later, I hire a new lawyer to take up my case, and after a few years of court cases, I have had full custody and full placement of my child. The mothers rights have all been revoked. I wonder how much sooner I could have gotten my child if I had never wasted my time and money with this gentleman.

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.
