VERY WEAK LAWYER I SUGGEST YOU NOT USE

I MET MRS GRUWELL AROUND JULY 2015, AS I NEED A LAWYER TO HANDLE MY DIVORCE CASE. FIRST IMPRESSION SHE GAVE WAS PROFESSIONAL AND HELPFUL AND I HAD HIGH HOPES THAT FADED FAST OVER THE FOLLOWING 4 MONTHS IT TOOK ME TO GET MY DIVORCE. I WAS OUT OF STATE AND WEEKS WOULD GO BY WITHOUT ANY IDEAL AS... TO WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND WHEN I CALLED TO ASK WHAT WAS HAPPENING, IT COST ME DEARLY FOR ANY ANSWER THAT MOST OF THE TIME WAS NOTHING. . IN MY OPION SHE IS A WEAK LAWYER WITH NO STRONG ARM WHEN IT IS NEEDED. TOO SOFT AND LAY BACK AND LET MY WIFE WALK ALL OVER HER WITH NO REPERCUSSION.. SEEMS TO LET HER CLIENT (ME) DO MOST THE WORK INCLUDING PROOF READING HER WORK FOR MISTAKES SHE AND HER STAFF MAKES., AND THERE WERE PLENTY. SHE IS NOT NOT IN GOOD COMMUNICATIONS WITH WHAT HER STAFF IS DOING ON YOUR CASE. LEFT HAND DOES NOT KNOW WHAT RIGHT HAND IS DOING. SHE EVEN HAD THE NERVE TO CHARGE ME FOR A OFFICE VISIT MY WIFE MADE TO HER TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT MY CASE. : ( HIRE THIS LAWYER AND WATCH YOUR DEPOSIT EAT AWAY WITH EVERY EMAL YOU SEND HER, OR SHE SENDS YOU, OR EVERY PHONE CALL YOU RECEIVE OR MAKE TO HER, OR SHE MAKES TO ANYONE ABOUT YOUR CASE. MOST OF THE THINGS I WANTED IN MY DIVORCE PAPERS DID NOT GET PUT INTO THE FINAL PAPERS AS I HAD REQUESTED. OFTEN I FELT SHE WAS LOOKING OUT FOR MY WIFES BEST INTEREST MORE THAN MINE. OFTEN HER ASSISTANCE HAD DONE THINGS ON THE CASE THAT MRS GRUWELL WAS NOT AWARE OF AND I GOT CHARGED TWICE FOR THE SAME SERVICE. POOR UNPROFESSIONAL SERVICE FOUND HERE. THE DAY THE JUDGE SIGNED MY DIVORCE PAPER I DID NOT EVEN GET NOTIFICATION I WAS DIVORCED UNTIL ABOUT 10:00 P.M. AFTER I EMAILED HER ASSISTANT TO ASK IF JUDGE SIGNED THE PAPERS. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO FIND YOURSELF ANOTHER LAWYER. THATS MY OPION. AS TRUTHFUL AS I CAN BE. SHE SUCKS! TOM HAMMOND

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.
