Not Trustworthy

Hired Mr. McMahon for an employment issue. He only spoke about going to trial and all scenarios were as such. He then manipulated us into an ill-timed mediation without doing promised discovery. Ended up feeling lied to and manipulated. This was our fist time having to deal with a lawyer and it l...eft us with a feeling of distrust.

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.
