I will never go thru Pozza again

It should have been an open and shut case due to lack of evidence, it should have been dismissed... I gave Pozza the $2000 retainer which he said would be more than enough... It wasn't dismissed, he continue to postpone the court dates and dragged it out for months in the end it was dropped on the co...ntingency that I pay a $500 restitution.. And then I got an additional bill from Pozza for near $1000 so all in all I will have paid $3500 when had I not hired him and plead guilty I would have only paid $2000 or less

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.
