needs more experience

I had a very difficult time with her. Not only did she change her mind about handling my case after she met my ex's attorney; I think she was intimidated. She said I was required by law to answer their questions, she refused to return my documents, and she kept asking for more money and never did s...pecifically what she said she was going to do. My new attorney says that she almost ruined my case with her stupidity. I reported her to the board - but they said she acted without malice. No, true, malice and stupidity are two very different things.

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.
