Clients don't matter

Waiting outside of his office, no one there even after 10am. Hired him a couple of weeks ago, has never returned any of my messages trying to hire an attorney who has time for me and my case but I cant even fire this one because he cant even come to work. Sadly there is someone who has an appointment... for 10am with him and is still waiting in the hall for an hour waiting for anyone to open the office. Worst legal defense experience ever. Trust me when I say this " seek representation ANYWHERE but here."

Replied last August 10, 2018

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with my law office. The day you showed up at my law office without an appointment, my secretary was out, and I had another early morning hearing to attend. I was in the office at 10:00 am when you came back. As I am a solo practitioner, I will not always be available since I do have to go to hearings on a frequent basis. I do my very best to get back to my clients as soon as I can. My secretary is usually available except in rare circumstances when she is out.

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.
