Something is wrong

He used to be par excellence!!! However, his demeanor has definitely changed and his relationship with this client is definitely over. He was rude, degrading and humiliated me, and I felt that he was aligned with the other sides attorney. Prior to this horrific experience he was generous, a gentlem...an and absolutely the best at his lawyering.

Sorry, this "client" is wrong, I am still "par excellence!!!". Of course, the person is not considerate enough to say who they are but I suspect it is a former secretary at our law firm who was let go (by a different lawyer). I did at least two cases for her - the first time for free (in a whole other county) and the second time at a greatly reduced fee. I only charged her $500 for something that should have been, given the time involved, $3,000 - $4,000. 'No good deed goes unpunished'. Her fight was with an ex-boyfriend who she blamed for everything in her life. Now, she has found someone else to blame apparently. And, I must say, I take great offense to "he was aligned with the other sides attorney". I have practiced law for some 33 years now and NO ONE has ever said anything remotely like that about me before and nothing could be further from the truth.

Too Busy

This attorney composed and sent a demand letter for us. When it came time for us to decide to prosecute, he was too busy. The law firm was too busy. Our feeling is that he didn't think we had a chance to win but he gave us that impression so we went ahead with a demand letter. The ultimat...e outcome of our case was a settlement for what was offered BEFORE we paid this attorney to give us false hope and paid about $500 for a demand letter.

John doesn't quite have the facts correct. This was an hourly fee case - not contingency. An initial demand letter is required by Texas law in order to trigger additional damage recoveries - e,g, attorney fees. It also lets facts develop before incurring additional fee costs. This was a home remodel case. Turns out John did not have a good address for the (illegal?) immigrant contractor so he couldn't be sued easily and certainly not collected from. And, the big box store had not provided that individual to John under their program of associated contractors. John would never have gotten any money from any lawsuit. The settlement for materials only that was offered by the store (far more than they had to do) was apparently accepted by John which is the best result he could hope for. That is exactly the kind of ethical, considerate sound advice and service one should expect from their lawyers.

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.
