Do not recommend him!

I contacted Neil to assist me with legal matters wiht my business. He was referred to me by a friend. Based on his advice I launched a lawsuit in another state. It turns out that the venue of the lawsuit is not appropriate and 2 other lawyers have no idea why he directed me to start a suit in another... state. He has cost me valuable time and money.

This former client has not accurately stated the facts here. While the rules of client confidentiality prevent me from explaining the details of this matter, I can say that the former client had claims against multiple parties in Washington and another state. I advised the client to talk to an attorney in the other state to see if a lawsuit in that state would be worthwhile. The former client did this and the attorney in the other state decided a lawsuit there would be worthwhile. That is why the client ended up launching a lawsuit in another state.

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.
