Ethically deficient

I've hired this attorney to handle my case despite the reviews here hoping I'd get a favorable outcome. Oh boy, he's a fast talker, gets off the phone quickly citing he's got some other calls to take care of, very hard to get hold of, doesn't give enough time to review the case, no strategy, just doe...s the bare minium and typically signs-off/hands-off the work to whatever the opposing counsel carves out and your case will get damaged. I will not go further into the specifics but please walk away and do not engage this lawyer as he should be tried for ethical violations and should possibly have his licensure revoked!

Buyer Beware

I too hired Lawrence Stenigold through Vanguard Associates. I wish I would have seen these reviews before hiring him. Like others mention, he was hard to reach, barely had time to talk to us, provided no guidance, and lied to us about what he was doing. He never even filed himself as my lawyer let al...one filing the other petitions and responses that my case needed. His inaction and lying about it ended up extending my case by six months and thousands of dollars even after I switched lawyers. Even worse, his inaction put my family at risk and did significant damage to our case. I will be filing an ethics violation complaint that both my new lawyer and the opposing lawyer are supporting.

TERRIBLE LAWYER PLEASE DO NOT HIRE !!!

I hired this Lawrence Steingold guy through a Law Firm called Vantage Group Law for a simple child support modification and all he did was lie to me from the beginning about what he was doing and the progress he was making. He didn’t have paperwork filed and hadn’t given it to the opposing counsel ...or judge and steady asked for continuances all while stealing my money as well as missing court dates and rarely returning phone calls. I paid this firm $650 a month for 5 months and never even had a hearing i canceled his services and requested a refund which I’m currently trying to get at least some of my money back it’s under investigation currently by the firm. Hiring this guy is like flushing your money down the toilet and wasting your time. He should be locked up for impersonating an attorney. I wish I had read these reviews first I definitely wouldn’t have hired him.

Useless

This by far the worst experience I've ever had with a lawyer. He never returns phone calls, emails or text messages. Promise to call you back and never does. Rushes you off the phone to because of other so called clients. I wish I had seen these other reviews before I made the mistake of hiring him. ...

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.
