Posted by anonymous | January 29, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Gerry was a terrible attorney. I'd give him zero stars if it was available.

Gerry was late to most every appointment I made with him. He failed to notify the court that he was representing me. He failed to understand my work schedule and work hours even after I showed him my work schedule and pay stubs repeated at his request. He did not advocate for me, but wanted to bills ...for hours trading and filing paperwork that he did not even read.

Respectful Lawyer

I have known Attorney Mowris for 35 years. He has represented me in many matters over the years. He is constantly up to date on law changes and other matters that affect the practice of law. He is effective, displays good judgment and is always respectful of his clients. He is an excellent commun...icator. I recommend him unhesitatingly.

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.
