Very inefficient lawyer

Do not hire this lawyer especially for immigration issues. The process is already stressful enough then add an inefficient lawyer to the process. A complete nightmare. I absolutely regret hiring ms rita. She never returns calls or updates you on the process. Instead she shouts and argues with her cli...ents. They dont pick or return office calls and what is supposed to take one day ends up taking months.

Terrible

I hired Mrs. Uzowihe for my child custody case. What a mistake. She never followed through with any paperwork I was supposed to receive and never explained anything to me. I went several months without hearing from her during my case. She would not reply to my emails asking her to withdraw her counse...l and basically kept telling me she could not then changed to telling me I owed her when she had done nothing.

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.
