Poor Attorney

I hired this attorney to stop a illegal garnishment of my bank accout by California child support. I told him the date the money would be sent to them. He did nothing. He also did a Complaint of resolution on several child support issues. He stated that child support did not follow the uniform in...terstate child support act. The law is they do not have to notify the non-custoial parents home state as they were enforcing under a California state action. I guess he does not know the law. I am a Oregon resident. If he could not help me then why did he take a 500.00 retainer from me for nothing? I ended up hiring a family law attorney in California to help me. I guess I should of done thi in the first place instead of wasting my money with him. I don't recommend this attorney.

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.
