Posted by Dwayne | November 28, 2018 | Personal Injury

Terribly rude and inconsiderate.

I was recently involved in a motorcycle accident, and as a result of said accident I sustained wounds that led to an infection. The infection consisted of cellulitis, pitted edema 2, and MRSA. I showed up to court and was represented by Miss Starnes, with my infection being as severe as it is, I expr...ess to miss Starnes that it was in my best interest to have her enter the not guilty plea on my behalf. For me it would dictate that your attorney should have the ability to enter a plea on your behalf. I requested that she do so as I needed to get pain medication and my antibiotics or see a doctor immediately. That was when this Starnes informed me that I would simply have to wait and she wasn't going to do anything of the sort. Additionally; when I asked her who she worked for, she stated quite rudely and very matter-of-factly, "I I work for me." And brusquely walked away as if my matter wasn't a cause for concern. Would you want somebody of this character to represent you in court?

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.
