all about the money

In my case for divorce I paid out 100 thousand and when it came time for trial he wanted another 8 thousand. I couldn't afford it at the time. So through the whole trial he did not bearly speak to me, and wouldn't even go over the case. He's all about money and doesn't care about his clients

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.
