Posted by anonymous | February 17, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Was a horrible experience

Finally got divorced because I hired a different lawyer. We had an easy, noncontested divorce that should have been filed quickly and easily. He sent prefilled out paper work without any of the changes we needed, it took months to get any responses. Finally I just made the changes myself. Why pay... thousands of dollars to end up doing the job yourself? His partner refused to return my phone calls either when I called asking for help.

We do not have any clients named Anonymous. Further, my partner has been on maternity leave. Who have you spoken to at my office?

Would not recommend

Hired Carlos Martinez, He never kept my informed of what was going on with my case. Said it would only cost a certain amount to file and go to court. Ended paying him more money and never once went to court with him. He never gave me my ex discovery never file for an extension on the discovery that w...as sent to me. Knowing he had messed up and given it to me late and knew I was out of town. Once he was dismissed from my case, he gave me a hard time to get my files to give to my new attorney.

Do not hire this guy. He no showed my court date.

I interviewed for my case, paid in full. Carlos choose not file a entry of appearance, he no showed my court date. I did call the office of Carlos and spoke with his secretary Kim to remind of my court date one month prior. The day of my court and sitting there by myself with no a show attorney. I ...called Carlos office. Kim made excuses for Carlos as to why he no showed. Kim states he could not talk to me due to a appointment. A few minutes later I got a call from his office advising my refund check is ready for pick up. I got no explanation from Carlos.

Unprofessional

Called for a consultation and they misunderstood that I was looking for a lawyer. Stated that I can do everything by myself but may want guidance. Like hello why else am I calling you? More expensive than the top rated lawyer for less work apparently. Also seemed very uninterested and unprofessional.... Will definitely not hire.

Who did you speak with? There are only two of us here in the office, and both attorneys had court on January 30. Did you end up setting up a consultation like you wanted? We don't understand your reference that we are "More expensive than the top rated lawyer." Our consultations are free for a half hour. Maybe you should try again.

Extremely Knowledgeable

Carlos was very prompt at returning my phone call and stayed on the phone with me long enough to answer all of my questions. Carlos was also able to give me additional information about my case that I didn't know I needed to be aware of. Definitely hiring!

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.
