Quality worker

I wrote the previous review out of anger. Jim is truly a stand up guy. I regret my post.

Not up front about costs

We thought we would require an attorney for a trust. He asked us for $2,200 to review the documents. We paid him, then a month goes by and we get a bill for an extra $750, he marked for charges such as emailing client and talking to client as being extra costs. The day we needed him for representatio...n (a Friday), he said that he would be out of office Thursday evening til the following week. I don't 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.
