Showing 1 - 1 of 1 review | Communication Style

Posted by anonymous | October 10, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Horrendous communication. Disrespectful of client.

I'd give zero stars if that was an option. This guy did virtually no work on my case. Communication skills are awful, if you even get him to respond to you. I emailed him once a week, every Friday asking for 30 seconds of his time to answer a question. Never received a response. Called him every two ...weeks and left a voice message asking for the same 30 seconds to answer one question. Received no response. The one time I actually got him to answer phone, he promised to send me documents to fill out and start my legal process. Then he literally disappeared. I've spoken to many attorney's since, all telling me this is highly irregular, unprofessional and disrespectful of clients. Hire him at your own peril.

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.
