Keep Looking

My case involved 2 small children, both mentally challenged. He never kept me informed, filing motions and agreements that I had not seen nor agreed to. He failed to question the opposition when necessary. He allowed the opposing attorney to call names. He allowed me to be questioned about motion...s he filed that I did not know about... in the end, he literally told me to "just give them to her". (her, meaning the alcoholic, drug addict mother bound for prison with her 3rd felony). He could not have cared less about the children. He told me I was "behind the 8 ball because Leedy 'don't' like you". He was out of his league, incompetent, unknowledgeable and lazy. Everything he and his secretary did or told me was wrong and detrimental to the children and he finally just withdrew, leaving the children twisting in the wind... in the middle of the case! His closing argument for the ONE hearing we got to have was... "uh, uh... ummmm... I guess I don't have anything to say". Good riddance... keep looking if you are looking for an GOOD attorney.

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.
