lost the spark

used Steve about 12 years back, he was engaged and great. last time I used, he had a guy from his office help. the guy failed to show up for a hearing. I called the office, Steve was there two hours later. Judge was mad, Steve mad at me. Never dealt with the other guy again, Steve took over.... But Steve was not engaged, went throught the motions. In the end we took the deal offered a year before. im on as I need a attorney again, not going to Steve.

Office does not show up for sentencing.

Mr. Meshbesher's law office was paid in advance to represent my son. When it came to the final sentencing his law office did NOT show up. When asked for a partial refund Mr. Meshbesher refused.

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.
