child custody

I was told by my coworker about Gobena and his firm. I contacted him. and Gobena told me that he will charge me $12000 and I had to pay $6000 up front and I will pay the rest withing 3 month. I was so desperate to find someone who speaks my language so I told him that is too expensive but I will ...hire him. Then he told me that I have to pay him $250 first because he have to review the court document first and he will let me know if he want to take the case. At this point, he did not give me any recommendation. That was on Tuesday June 27. He told me after he review court document he will let me know on Friday June 30. Instead he disappeared. to me was he hired just waiting for him to send me paperwork to be signed . This man is dishonest and people should be aware.

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.
