Disinterested and Inconvenienced

Mr Durham was completely uninterested in fighting for me in my criminal case. Almost hostile in his disinterest to the point that I became kind of intimidated to call. He was never available via phone and only returned one of many phone calls. He did not want to meet in person to discuss my case or d...evelop a strategy on a felony case. He told me we could just discuss the details of the case over the phone and that coming in wasn’t necessary. Always was impatient sounding on the phone. He had no strategy to win the case and though he considered it ‘weak’, never once made me feel confident that I had a chance. Told me that I could look forward to two years of a drawn out case—or just get probation. Appalling experience. Beware.

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.
