Angry Client

It has been over 10 months and i have NEVER heard back from this guy! hell i have no clue of what he looks like or sounds like! His assistants are rude and they very rarely return calls, The communication is virtually non-existent! I would NEVER, i repeat NEVER recommend these people to anyone! i jus...t have a feeling i will not receive fair compensation. I tried to get another attorney but no one will take the case because of how far along the case! Talk about bad decisions, this i one of the worst ive ever made!!!!!!!

Avoid this lawyer

I strongly recommend that you DO NOT use this attorney. I signed up with the Evins, Friend & Sklare firm for a personal injury case and I received egregious mishandling of my case - bordering on malpractice. The communication was virtually non-existent. After being in an auto accident, I called the o...ffice approximately a dozen times over the next year to make sure that the case was moving forward, but I rarely received a call back, and never from an attorney. Since I didn't have any experience in similar situations, I really didn't know what to do. I received no guidance or advice on the proper documentation of injury or handling of my case. Because of this mishandling, I did not receive fair compensation. The office staff is consistently rude and simply does not return calls. Finally, after sending a letter threatening a malpractice suit against the firm, I magically got a call the next day and a little bit of attention, albeit with an everpresent petulant attitude. I ended up calling other law firms to see if they would take over my case, but they declined, since it was so far along. I don't know if they are overbooked or are simply disorganized and lousy, but I would STRONGLY recommend NOT using Evins or his firm. Call around. Speak to several lawyers and make sure you feel comfortable with the entire firm before signing on. Good luck.

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.

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.
