Posted by anonymous | August 09, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Avoid

The second time I asked him to stop agreeing to things with opposing council without talking to me, he called me hard to work with and recommended I find another attorney. I asked my next attorney if making decisions without consulting the client was normal and he said, "No, that's just a bad lawyer...." Disregarded every comment I made, did things directly against what I asked him to do, gave my ex whatever she was asking for on multiple occasions without asking for anything in return or even trying to negotiate. If you like being talked down to, this is your guy.

Child Custody

Hired for a child custody battle. It appeared that he had absolutely no idea what he was doing. Spent several thousand dollars, and essentially wrote own parenting plan. Had to stay on the attorney to get anything done. Would be better off representing yourself.

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.
