This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Did Not Complete Work

Mr. Matthew did get a "failure to appear" warrant against me dismissed. Although this took much longer than he originally told me it would take when I retained his services and still all the work I needed done was not completed. He failed to have the case transferred from the Illinois court to the ...Tennessee court where I currently live. My attorney in Tennessee and I have called, emailed his office several times and we have yet to receive a satisfactory response and/or any response at all between the two of us. My Tennessee lawyer left an email saying if you can't transfer the case, give us a referral for someone who can and they haven't even done that. In the meantime I have to deal with an abusive, mentally unstable ex-husband popping up at my daughter's school and our church frightening her because the state we live in doesn't have jurisdiction over the custody case because Mr. Abraham and his law partner Mr. Drnovsek have not done what I requested by transferring the case to the Tennessee court. I originally retained their firm back in June 2015 and nearly a year later everything still isn't resolved.

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.
