Disappointed

I give him a copy of a contract for him to look over. He continued to tell me that I was in the drivers seat and I had everything in my favor. That was great until my tenants hired an attorney. Then that day, he tells me my contract was inadequate. He had that contract for almost 2 weeks, and NOW all... of a sudden, it is inadequate? If he would have "known" the contract was "inadequate" and told me so, it would not have gone as far as it did. So, he either did not know, or he was keeping it going so he could make more money. Either way, he put me into a very bad situation. He seems like a nice guy, but I wasn't looking for a friend, I was looking for a competent attorney.

Utter nonsense.

Update

We are being burdened once again with the Contract for Sale that should have been dealt with the first time when we hired this attorney. We had no idea our Contract for Sale was "illegal" and neither did this attorney until our "renter's" attorney told him. If he would have recognized this problem ...and had the "renters" agree to sign a statement releasing us from the Contract for Sale, we would not be in the mess we are in for the second time.

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.
