Very responsive to emails

I had a very good experience working with this law firm. They were very professional and represented me well. My attorney was fully prepared at all times and always answered any questions I had. Also, my attorney was extremely responsive to emails. You cannot beat that!

Deceitful

I was named a class representative in a class action suit and am in possession of a signed agreement between William B. Federman and myself. I was told by his legal assistant that the Court often awards an incentive fee to those who agree to act as figure head class representatives. When I contacte...d Mr. Federman some time after discovering that the suit had been settled, he claimed there was no record of my claim in the database. He dismissed my inquiry and although I was in frequent contact with his legal assistant on this class action suit, I was never notified of the settlement and never received any compensation nor an incentive fee. I would never recommend this attorney as his firm didn't live up to their end of the agreement and a one star rating is one too many.

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.
