Posted by anonymous | April 20, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Dishonest lawyer, I would not recommend or hire again.

I hired Mr. Matthew C Downs in 2016, this was my experience: -Arrived a minimum of 2-3 hours late for every court date. -He would overbook several clients on the same date/hours -Never prepared for the case due to overbooking -He told me everything I wanted to hear in the beginning so I would hi...re him. -I paid him in full up front, a big mistake on my part. I'm very disappointed I put my life in his hands without knowing how little attention he would give to my case.

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.
