DO NOT USE THIS LAWYER.

Originally i was quoted a $3500 flat rate for a non-contested divorce, and $5500 for a contested divorce. I was told the $5500 would take me through trial if it went that far. Within a month of me giving him the money($5500) i started having trouble getting ANY response from him, or his office. got ...a bill almost every week. He burned through the $5500 in record time. He was supposed to fill out paperwork for a trial date. He told me it would take 2 months just to get a date, then it could take up to 10 months to get on the courts calendar. I waited the 2 months and when i finally called to check and see when the trial date was it took me over a week of emailing and calling to get him on the phone. i only got him on the phone when i got upset with his staff and told them i was very angry. I find out that he never even filed it, so now i have another year of going through this. He then said he would need another $7500 to take this to trial. WHAT? this was NEVER mentioned. I told him that he had trapped me into this and he was a con artist. When i called him on his lack of professionalism he said he no longer wished to be my attorney. how convenient, since all he really did was fill out billing paperwork showing how he had "used" my money.

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.
