Horrible attorney

Just wanted money, once he was paid didn't want to do anything, misrepresented a plea deal to my fiancée and refused to do the honorable thing and fall on his sword, took $15000 and made one appearance, Told her her plea would be 2 years in and it turned out to be 3 because he didn't know the laws.

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.
