Poor negotiator and lazy

Run. I could quote the guy in writing. He didn’t look over anything until two days before a major event after a year under contract and 10k paid. Just to run up the bill last minute to say settle, but “you could have got more than double” after the fact.. Botched the settlement agreement and the opp...osing lawyer roasted him on the fact. Would not recommend.

I am sorry you are not satisfied, and although this is anonymous, I am fairly certain I know who this is. This statement contains numerous defamatory inaccuracies that I must clarify. First, I have 141 emails in your client file dating back to July 2023 when we started drafting the Complaint. The statement that I didn't look over anything two days prior to your arbitration is patently false, as we have worked extensively on your case for over a year. Second, the settlement negotiations the day before the hearing were conducted extensively and with your full participation. You received a substantial settlement of your claim, even though your claim was speculative and risky from a liability and collections standpoint even if you had prevailed. Finally, the settlement agreement was standard and nothing was botched about it. You received your settlement funds as quickly as possible. I ask that you please remove this defamatory review within 24 hours to avoid further legal action.

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.
