So disappointed

I needed a lawyer to help me dealing with a contractor who had walked out in the middle of construction for an addition on my home. I called and left a message on a Tuesday morning (Oct. 14, 2014). I received a call back from his assistant later that morning. She took all the info and said that th...ey needed to do a conflict of interest check on all involved parties. She said that I would hear back from her that afternoon or by Wednesday. I received no call back so I called and left a message midday on Thursday. I still received no call back so I called and left another message midday on Friday. I finally received a callback late Friday afternoon and was told that there was a potential conflict of interest that they were still research and that they would get back with me on Monday and let me know. Again, no callback on Monday so I left a message on Tuesday asking them to please call me and let me know what the heck was going on. It is now Friday afternoon (Oct. 24, 2014), 11 days since my first call, and they have never returned that call. I had repeatedly told them that this was a time sensitive issue for me and I needed legal advise quickly so that I could figure out how to proceed with the construction before the winter weather set in.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
