Estate planning yes, execution/litigation NO

After a decades-long relationship for my own trust/wills with no problems, I engaged them to monitor/enforce my father’s estate and inheritance. The results were extremely disappointing. Lack of follow-up, lack of digging into details, ignoring pertinent facts and warning signs, months between commu...nications that should have been days. It appeared they either had no interest in enforcement/litigation of estate cases and/or were not interested in anything less than a case worth $100k+ in fees. I am now suffering through $10k’s of legal fees with a new attorney (on top of the $10k’s already invested) unwinding shady maneuvers from the opposing side that could/should have been caught and addressed years ago. Very disappointing – I do not recommend.

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.
