he did me wrong

David was my attorney for my divorce. my husband made over 12 million and I ended up with $530,000, David even told me that I have health insurance why do I need to get it from him. and he made me to give up my right for his SS. now 10 years later I can not afford a health insurance. what kind of att...orney would give advice like that. as long as you have money to pay him ,he is fine, but as soon as he knows that money has run out he will try to settle even it is not good for his client . like me. after paying him an arm and leg, as soon as he knew the money is running out , he made me to settle for penats,with that much money with no health insurance and no SS. you tell me what kind of good attorney would do that. he even did not made sure that my daughter future would be secure.I still have problem with my x because of the way he deal with my daughter. David Fink I will never ever forgive you. You did not care to secure my daughter and my future even you got paid quite well. I can not afford a health insurance , I was married to a man for more than 9 years who made over 12 million dollars and I can not even afford health insurance . thank you , thank you. and they choose you as a best attorney? is a laugh ziba pourian

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.
