How does this guy get a rating of 10?

Umberto Davi was my attorney for a number of months. He did not answer emails, he did not answer questions, he did not do what I asked him to do; IE: file any pleadings. Every time my wife was in contempt of a court order blocking my visitation he would simply reply "Tell the GAL". Mr. Davi would tel...l me of his expansive experience, and then when I would send him an email with a question, he would reply with we'll have to talk about this. Then on the phone he would tell me why he could not or rather would not file any pleading I asked him to. To this day, my wife continues to interfere with court ordered visitation, I have to pay my new attorney to research the entire past of our custody issues, and to file pleadings that should have been filed over a year ago. I hate to leave such a bad review, but had Mr. Davi done his job he would still be my attorney, and my divorce would have been over 6 months ago, for allot less money. I am sorry to say that I would not recommend Mr. Davi to anybody.

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.
