Posted by Diego | September 08, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Run away!!

He is been handling my case, pushing for 5 years. Before I hired him he said he would be ready for trial if we happened to not settle but he would make the case go fast. Well, he's been on the case for years and he just started working on it, but he always tells me he is ready for trial, which he isn...'t. I've talked to other attorneys about his behavior, and they have told me he is forcing me to take a settlement or to fire him so he can file a lean against my case so he would just get paid without working on it. He is very capable and knowledgeable, but he doesn't care about his clients one bit, but he will convince you otherwise. His firm is a wholesale business model; they take as many cases as they can and with the intention to settle them yes or yes once they take your case, it doesnt matter if you haven't recovered, if you are still struggling do to your injuries, all he will tell you, it's to take the settlement. He will not discuss your medical condition nor your struggles, he doesn't care. I stand by my words, since I've dealt with him personally as a client for years. He is a lot of bad things, to which I can't even mention and it's not even an insult, but this pages won't let you use adjectives to describe a person, because they won't post your review. You can't be specific, you have to be very generic. I've had to change my review 5 times and it just doesn't go through. Same thing in Google, they mostly keep good reviews and the bad ones are hidden or doesn't go through. So, whatever I'm saying here, multiply it by 4. Do not come here, he is the president of his firms and this is how he handles himself, imagine his employees. Also, I need a second back surgery and he won't provide an LOP unless I sign him a paper stating I will only do as he tells me to, a blank check, handing him authority over myself as his client. And he doesn't talk to me for months and blames me for it. They pay for their good reviews and report the bad ones so that Google hides them and with the very very strict Google rules and this page as well, they reject or hide 95% of bad reviews, leaving them with a really high good rating.

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.
