This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

First case DUI

An ad sponsored money filled law firm. I had paid for an attorney in Sand law and have received the bare minimum for attention on the case. Takes at least 2-4 days to even get a call in with my attorney on an update on the case. Was never notified about my case tickets to be paid, which extende...d my way to receive a temporary restricted license, in result, loss of a job. It seems sand law has won numerous cases, but in retrospect seems way to busy to be able to check up on/inform clients about the case. filled with words, not actions.

CREDIT SCORE RAISED BY 241 POINTS

So, I was in the process of rebuilding my credit. I was in the upper 500’s and after a lot of research I decided to go ahead and take a chance at contacting [email protected] even though many people didn’t believe in credit repair companies. I am a living witness that contacting PINN...ACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST will raise your credit score. I am now at 802, 7 collections have been deleted. Good luck to anyone going down the same road I am. Let them know Janice Bonne referred you.

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.
