Not happy

Saw him on a Friday. Said paperwork would be done by Monday. Then it changed to Tuesday, then Wednesday. Paid upfront and then could not speak to him, just his staff. Asked for my money back after a few days and was told a partial payment would be mailed.

Posted by Frank | December 06, 2012 | Divorce & Separation

Very pleased

Attorney Magner helped me in a divorce case. He protected my interests without being unreasonable, thereby keeping the costs down. I was regularly updated on new developments and found him very responsive to my questions. It was easy to interact with his staff and to set up phone calls or in person... appointments. Would recommend him without reservation.

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.
