INCOMPETENT

This atty is/was SOOOO incompetent when it came to retrieving my "UNPAID" benefits (STILL UNPAID I might add) that amount to OVER $47k his statement to me was this, and I quote: "There is no money in it for me to pursue, I would make ONLY about $600" unquote! REALLY? I was under the impression th...at the law was mandated at 15%, which would equal OVER $7K....hmmm.... He's been representing my case for well OVER 4yrs, I've had a 3 level spinal fusion (which is still being dealt with, additional tests required) still require a 2 level cervical fusion, torn left knee ACL (repair), right hand/wrist surgery as well. He stated to me that he will ONLY pursue my case further AFTER I have the specified surgeries and that he's not doing it "piece meal" !! (another quote). I told him I want to settle the case and move on with my life, only again to fall on his deaf ears. He DOES NOT respond to emails, text messages OR voicemails, I have the distinct impression he has absolutely NO INTEREST in ones case after there has been a "findings and award" that didn't meet his satisfaction attributed to his own delinquency. DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN!

UPDATE: I knew the client who had written this review. I sent him a link to the State Bar website where he could file a complaint if he thought I was not competently representing his interests. I also sent him a Dismissal of Attorney form. This client did not file a State Bar complain and would not Dismiss me as his attorney. In time, and these case do take time, I was able to secure for this client a high six figure settlement. In the end, I honestly don't know if he was happy or not with my representation. Not all cases are the same and not all cases can be settled simply because a client wants it settled. Some cases have a life of their own and we try to manage them as best as we can within the limits of the law as it is dictated to us.

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.
