THUMBS DOWN

In my initial consultation, Bob promised me the world. Once my retainer was paid and the process officially begun, he seemed entirely disinterested in my case. Before long, he was about to repeat actions that he had already taken until I pointed this out. I actually had to schedule a face-to-face ...because I think he was confusing me with another one of his clients by mistake. His communication was very poor at best. He even gave me misinformation about giving a tenant notice to leave in this process. If I had followed his advise, I wouldn't have given him the amount of time that he was legally entitled to. I found this out through my own research. Luckily for Bob (and his clients) his assistant, Julie, is fantastic. I generously gave him the benefit of the doubt for far longer than I should have. I was wrong to think that paying more would ensure a harder working, more keenly strategizing lawyer. Maybe my case wasn't glitzy enough for him? What a waste of money and time THATwas! My new lawyer charges quite a bit less and has done more in two weeks than he did in 4 months--and she communicates professionally, clearly, and frequently. She is actively working on my case and keeping me in the loop every step of the way. I would strongly encourage readers to look elsewhere. I wish I had known about these reviews when I was considering Bob in the first place. He seems like a nice enough guy, but I wasn't getting my money's worth. I was impressed by his years of experience, but that ended up translating into what seemed like carelessness. Relative to my new experience, I think Bob tries to get away with as little as possible.

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.
