Anne Avery Cameron

A friend referred me to Anne, and I took her advice. I should have checked out her reputation first, but didn't. My referring friend eventually had her case bungled by Anne too, and later actually apologized to me for recommending Anne. Anne Cameron represented herself to be an agressive attorney ...who would fight for me. Truth be told, the only one she was ever agressive with...was me. She treated the other side with kid gloves. I guess Anne feels I’ll go away shortly, but she’ll have to deal with the other attorneys again, and doesn’t want to ruffle anyone's feathers. Her lack of respect and empathy for her client (me) was astounding. I read her other review, and it's somewhat comforting to know it wasn't just me she treated so poorly. Her lack of effort or accountability was simply dreadful. She sent over the final proposed order for me to sign, and I noticed the other party had inserted items which we had NOT agreed to. When I called Anne, she stated it was her policy to forward all documents to me for MY review...she didn't even look at them. Seriously? What was I paying her for? I should have represented myself and saved several grand. I couldn't have done any worse. Under Anne’s representation, they mopped the floor with me. I was going to fire her half way through the case, and even consulted with other attorneys. One other counselor told me it was hopeless, and I should settle, because I could not win. I said "But Anne told me I had a good case". He replied "Well, you don't. But if Anne told you that you couldn't win, you would NOT have given her a retainer check, right? Some attorneys will recommend you go to court even if you have no chance, so they get paid." I wish I had talked to him in the first place. Don't rely on a freind's recommendation, unless their case is complete and Anne actually won the case and has a happy client. I have yet to meet anyone who matches that description regarding Ms Cameron. Interview several attorneys, and make sure they ALL say you have a case, and a decent shot at winning. But don't walk into Cameron and Klekas...unless you wanto to pay several grand and lose. Badly.
