This attorney should retire.

Mr. Wasserson seemed very positive during our initial consultation. However, after giving him a rather hefty retainer, (his fees are hefty as well), things went down hill fast. He just didn't seem to care much for my situation, and seemed put off whenever I called him. He rarely called me regarding t...he status of things. I was getting screwed on my alimony, my child support and custody, so, after nearly a year of enduring such torment, I made the difficult decision to go with a different attorney. It was the best decision of my life. The new attorney was amazing. I was divorced within 6 months, and he got me a reasonable settlement on all issues.

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.
