This attorney is very unprofessional

The lawyer failed to effectively communicate with me through the process. It took him 2 years to settle my case and it was under $3000. He didn't pay my medical bills that occurred from the accident. He advised me that I was responsible to pay the bills myself. This attorney is horrible, Please do ...not trust him. You will be very unhappy with his services.

Not Impressed with Gale

He did not keep in touch with me...I guess my case was not worth enough to him.

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.
