Disciplined TWICE by WA State Bar

I hired Goldberg & Jones for a divorce and was assigned Ms. Bennett. No mention was made of her prior disciplinary actions. I have tried working with her and the firm in good faith but continue to receive little or no communications and no improvement in performance. Raised ongoing issues with office... managing partners yet no improvement. Ms. Bennett saw fit to leave town on an extended trip without providing guidance on questions and open items over 7 days old. She left no guidance on contacts in her absence. Totally unacceptable. Given the WA State Bar sanctions against Ms. Bennett, it is clear the is a continuous pattern of disregard for her clients and the law. Very disappointed in Goldberg & Jones as well as Ms. Bennett. Will attempt to work with the firm to rectify, given that I have an ongoing case. Will absolutely NOT work with Ms. Bennett in any capacity.

Rating:  8.0 (Excellent)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2000.

Suspension issued in WA, 2000

updated on 03/30/2010

This means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Censure issued in WA, 1998

updated on 03/30/2010

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
