​Paid $2,500 for a modification that was never started

​I initially hired Mr. Rivera around 2017 for an initial matter, which was handled. Based on that prior experience, I returned to his office sometime later to retain him for a child custody modification, paying a $2,500 advance fee/retainer. Roughly a week after payment, he requested I come to his of...fice, where he advised me that pursuing the modification was no longer a good idea. However, he refused to return the $2,500, stating that the funds were a 'non-refundable retainer' despite having performed no substantive legal work or billable services to earn it. Retaining a client's hard-earned money for work that was never done leaves a lasting impression.

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.
