Start screaming and run in the opposite direction!

I was billed for time that was actually work done by the opposing attorney! Never have I seen such money grubbing tactics. Many expect lawyers to be sharks,and have little morals,but she sets the bar at an all time low. I fired her,did not get back any of my pricey retainer,which really,none of it wa...s used. There wasn't time. I got a new lawyer at half the cost and had the expected outcome. I will be taking her to court to retrieve what I paid although even if I wasn't,what I did pay was worth it to be rid of her and her extreme greed and rude behavior. Seems like that is a recurring theme with her.

Litigation lawyer | Feb 14

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Attorney Rieghns for just under a decade. I just had a highly contested, extremely emotional litigation case with her. She tirelessly advocated for her client, and helped to mitigate the emotional aspect so the parties could reach a fair settlement. I whole-heartedly endorse this attorney."

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.
