Posted by Sandra | November 12, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Ethics escape him

Worst advice ever received from a lawyer. Filed things in court that cost me custody and more importantly a healthy relationship with my children. If that is what you are looking for, hire him. If not, RUN!

Yes or No?

I answered "no" regarding whether I'd recommend this lawyer, but I wish there had been a "maybe" option. You might find his jocular, energized manner a good "match" for you, but I wanted more focus on my matter -- which was quite serious to me. I've heard very good things about him, so perhaps we rea...lly were just a "mismatch." At one point, Mr. West did not get back to me during the time period he stated he would. I called his office and asked for a call back, and he then got back to me (with apologies) a day or two later. This might be quite typical for busy lawyers, but it is difficult to wait when an important matter is "on the line." Again, Mr. West has a good reputation, and he might work well for you. His personality was just too "big" for me.

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.
