Posted by Randy | August 15, 2015 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Review of work done in 2014

Really one of the worst attorneys I have ever had. Actually, the opposite of ethical. He acted enthused until he got my 5K retainer and then gave nothing but the most shallow attention to my case. His email questions were often repeated, charging me heavily anytime he would ask questions that woul...d reflect the most shallow understanding of the case. His pedigree and the fact that he had worked in the Oregon bar made me hopeful that he would actually work on the case and not simply churn but that did not happen. In the one exchange with the opposing attorney, the opposing attorney indicated how great it had been to work with him in the past and that he was looking forward to "collaborating" with him again. This attorney was truly awful.

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.
