Standard law firm with lack of aggressiveness

Mrs. Coghlan has a well established firm with an average reputation in El Dorado County. She has quite an unusually high retainer for family law of $5000. Mrs. Coghlan will charge you for every conversation, every email and every voice message left with her answering service. Once my case was present...ed to the court, I felt that Mrs. Coghlan felt her job was done. She didn't make decisions in my best interest, rather made standard recommendations that ended up costing me in the long run. Though Mrs. Coghlan may have learned from my experience with her, she does not seem to be aggressive nor willing to pursue results greater than acceptable.

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.
