Said He Would Get My Car Back, He Didn't

I hired this lawyer for $2,500 in 2001 to get my car back that was seized by the police. I gave him the documentation saying 1) That I paid every car payment with legally earned money and 2) That there was a car loan on the car with a co-signer, so it is illegal to seize the vehicle (the lien on the... car title had mistakenly not been put on by the loan company when I first got the loan). Shane said that he would definitely get the car back and would get me a good deal in court. He did show up for court, but I received the same deal I would have gotten if I hadn't had a lawyer (evidenced by the fact that everyone else charged with the same thing I was and didn't have a lawyer got the same deal). He never got the car back and eventually stopped responding to emails. So I really got nothing for the $2500.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have been in the law practice for nearly thirty years. Over this time, I have come to know Rob both professionally and personally. He exhibits the highest standards of ethics and competency. Because I do not practice in criminal law, or in a few other areas of Rob's expertise, I have referred a number of my clients or their children to Rob when they were in need of solid, fair, and competent representation. Without exception, all have been pleased with Rob's demeanor, his command of the law, his ability to negotiate reasonable resolutions and, most importantly, his courtroom skills l when trials become necessary. I recommend him without exception. Although originally from Wisconsin, he is now one of Minnesota's finest. You can hire the slicksters with the fancy ads and puffed up promises for near all of the money in your bank account only to be disappointed, or you can hire Rob for straightforward counsel at a very fair price. Your call. Make it the right one."

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.
