Posted by Jeanine | March 08, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Uncontested Divorce

Find someone else

I found Mrs. Legan to be intelligent and well-versed in the law, but disorganized, disinterested and scatter-brained as well. I hired her to handle a non-contested divorce--my ex and I had already come to an agreement prior to initiating the legal part of it. All we needed was to have a detailed decr...ee written up. Dealing with Mrs. Legan was for me by far the most difficult part of the divorce process. I met with her at length to work up a draft of the decree. Somehow, Mrs. Legan managed to lose the draft of the decree she wrote from her computer; then after dodging my calls for several weeks, she transferred me to her associate Corey Sainz and we started all over again. Once we were close to being finished, Ms. Sainz left the practice and I had to start all over again with Mrs. Legan. She managed to burn through almost my entire $5K retainer on a matter than should have been handled a lot more quickly. I NEVER felt as though Mrs. Legan was advocating for me or that she was the slightest bit interested in working to get me a positive outcome with my divorce. I often wonder what would of happened if I had hired a different lawyer. I managed to finish the process with her (after she showed up 2 hours late for our court date) but I deeply regretted hiring her as my attorney. Maybe she cares about some of her clients but I never felt as though she gave a damn about 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.
