Do not hire

I hired Mr. Thacker for my disability case. The first meeting went well except went he told me that fibromyalgia to him was a middle aged woman's issue not a real disease but in their head. I hired him anyway and paid him. After that, he had horrible communication skills! I tried to call to ask a ...question and he would not call me back. I then sent emails and I actually had to send them two or three times over a two to three week period before he got back to me. Very disorganized, always on vacation and lost my case. I went with another attorney and won. The only way to get him to respond was to threaten to email his boss. After I lost, I asked a few questions about the reasons why and he told me that I could use him to appeal and pay five thousand, then he would go over my questions but that he wasn't charging me for the twelve minutes that he had been talking to me.

I am so sorry that this client feels this way. She misunderstood what I told her about fibromyalgia. She decided to hire another attorney for the appeal and I am glad that she won. Again, it is unfortunate that she felt that it was such a negative experience.

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.
