Very Disapointing

This attorney has trouble answering questions without being vague and shifty. Felt like a constant game of smoke and mirrors, and 'you can't get there from here.' Upon retaining new counsel we found that court dates could have been scheduled months earlier (she said we couldn't get earlier dates be...cause of State finances). Also learned that spousal support was recommended at 8K per month by the Disso-Master - she advised us that the recommendation was 5K and that the judge would award this anyway if a hallway agreement could not be reached. She failed to file papers in a timely manner, would not use email and did not return phone calls within the timeframe she agreed to before accepting the 5K retainer. She didn't remember what she had committed to from one meeting to the next. Very disappointing experience from someone you would expect to have your back.

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.
