Real Estate 10%

I assist people with all types of real estate transactions and litigation. If you are buying or selling a house I can probably save you money over using a real estate agent. We have litigated boundary disputes, quite title actions, easements and the sale and purchase of residential and commercial real estate.

Showing 1 - 1 of 1 review | Landlord & Tenant

Posted by Robert | July 15, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Landlord & Tenant

LOST AN EASY CASE, THEN SUED CLIENT FOR HIS FEE!!

My wife and I had a horrible landlord (damaging our cars, looking in our windows, etc.), and hired Mr. Friones to handle the case. Instead of dealing with it like he should have, we got evicted. At the eviction hearing Mr. Friones did not put on any of the witnesses nor most of the evidence we gave... him against our landlord. We got evicted, and Mr. Friones quit. In a second hearing on damages, we (representing ourselves) ACTUALLY WON THE CASE!! We got awarded thousands of dollars from the landlord! Then, Mr. Friones SUED US for the money WE won from the landlord!!! He wanted to charge us over $7,000 for two letters and a day in court! We strongly suspect he was actually working with/for the landlord the whole time. If you are looking to lose an easily winnable case, get sued after losing, and be homeless for a week, Mr. Friones is for 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.
