Possibly the worst lawyer

Ms. Acosta will not work on your case. She will avoid your calls and she will take the first plea deal to drop the case. I was wrongfully arrested and she LITERALLY asked me in jail over the phone what I did and wouldn’t take nothing for an answer

The defense is - here sign this....or we will see how you feel in a couple (6) weeks

Too bad there is not a negative rating scale. I thought that even when doing pro-bono/state appointed...you tried to defend your client. I have been trying to contact Ms. Acosta since August...she does not call back and her excuse for not talking to her client is that "they can't call me from jail...." My son has been in jail since June. Has talked to his lawyer twice - both times the same thing while in the courtroom.... No defense, no information, no plan. NO DEFENSE. I might feel different if she would at least contact one of us....but nothing since her vacation right after his arrest.

Unreliable and unavailable to her clients

It is less then 24 hours before my loved ones court case. I have been trying to reach Sylvia she dose not return her calls she has no email Avalable, and when you look up her number in the phone book it takes you to a different lawyers number if the case is compromised due to her negligence then I wi...ll surely write another review if not, consider that she is at least sufficient to provide a proper defense for her clients.

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.

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.
