He was my first, and by far the WORST attorney I have ever met

I hired Mr. Pell many years ago to fight a DUI case. We met a couple times over YEARS. He kept collecting money and in turn would push back the court dates. He kept telling me that this is how we win. The office itself was very unprofessional and always acted as if they were doing me a favor and t...hat I was a disruption to them. He pushed my case off more than 4 years and cost me almost $20,000 to fight a DUI case that he did not win or even try to win. Run run run away from this law office and the "lawyers" who work there. Since then (more than 8 years ago) I now have experience with many other law firms, primarily for business and trust purposes. I have never met another attorney that was this terrible.

Replied last September 15, 2016

I have been practicing in this town for nearly 40 years. I have an excellent reputation and I am a skilled trial attorney. There are remedies for a client who paid fees which were not earned. Many times an "anonymous" unhappy client is simply a person who is dishonest and who has not presented all of the information in this forum. It is interesting to note "anonymous" waited more than 8 years to post this.

Best attorney

Mr. Pell became my attorney 7 years ago when my husband died in an accident he was compassionate and knowledgeable. This was a difficult time for me and he took care of all the legal issues. I was very satisfied with the results. Since then I have had the need for an attorney for business matters and... again I was very satisfied I would recommend him to family and friends.

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.
