not good people at office

I was really given the run around and some false rationale for their not wanting the case. It's fine if they don't want it but it's insulting and wastes my time to be condescended to and lied on about their reasons why. My need is not estate planning but something extremely serious and immediate r...elating to survival professionally and in health. I would have appreciated some respect.

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.
