Justine Ann Dell's Reviews

Paid consult is intake focused, not strategic

I did the intake and scheduled (and paid for) a consultation with this attorney hoping to receive strategic guidance about my situation and next steps. I came prepared with detailed information and was looking for professional judgment on timing, risks, and options. Instead, the consultation felt lar...gely client-directed, with most of the conversation focused on asking what I wanted to do rather than outlining recommended approaches or explaining the pros and cons of different strategies. I understand that attorneys can’t give full case planning in a short 1 hour consult, but given the cost, I expected more actionable insight or preliminary direction. I left feeling like I had paid for an intake conversation rather than professional analysis. This may be a good fit for someone who already knows exactly what they want and just needs execution. However, if you’re seeking strategic guidance to help you evaluate your options, you may want to clarify expectations before booking.

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.
