Divorce was a joke

Howard took my check in March, 2015. Waited to cash it until May, 2015. It bounced. I had the cash from my retirement fund. $6K The cash was taken by a hacker at the bank So he whined and c/ö I was a thief. Then at the mediation he assigned me a new lawyer The guy didn't know the case, he wat...ched the weather on TV most during negotiations I got cheated. Never once did he fight for me. I was a battered wife. All I got out of it was $1300.00 alimony & half of his "first retirement". Not once did he ask about a 2nd retirement fund. Nor did my ex disclose it. There was a second retirement fund. I got cheated out of it because the change of attorneys didn't know the case. Don't go through what I did. I missed out of over another $300,000.00. This law firm is the poorest one to defend anyone. I don't feel sorry for them nor will I pay the $6K they said I cheated them out of.

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.
