Posted by Moshe | September 16, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Zero Communication Arrogant Disdain

I hired Holly Blaine in July 2019. I had to get another credit card to pay her fee, but needed my record expunged still seeking employment when most are retiring. I made dozens of call, texts, and email during the ensuing months. March 2020 I told her I'm firing her, then she responded with images of... the court filing. Then nothing. We've never met. My new lawyer has had success with similar cases all through the pandemic, which she used as an excuse since spring. His estimates 3-4 months to wrap up the case, and keeps me informed. I felt entirely insulted, and disdained. Never experienced anything like this! I tried going to her "office" on Davis in Evanston (at the time). It turned out to be a room in an art gallery, where one person vaguely knew who she was. I'm flabbergasted. Let this be warning. SCAM ALERT

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.
