Underwood is not for the Underdog

Underwood got his money from me but did not keep me informed about my case. He even touted he could probably get it dismissed when I first contacted him. When I finally did receive a call about it, it was from his secretary telling me about a plea bargain that I couldn't understand. When I questio...ned it, he got on the phone, yelled and threatened me. He eventually withdrew from my case, sent me a scathing letter, and then turned state's evidence after I gave him a document , trying to let him know what I had done to try and mitigate my situation before I hired him.

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.
