Appeal of Attorneys' Fee Award in DC

During the three-year course of senseless litigation in my divorce, I lost all respect for the many attorneys involved--including my own--and particularly for the ruling judge. I felt trapped in a surreal Kafkaesque nightmare where justice was turned upside down. So it was with trepidation and a heav...y heart that I made the decision to appeal the DC Superior Court's ruling that I should pay a substantial portion of my ex-husband's attorney's fees when he instigated the divorce and filed over two-thirds of the legal actions and where he had a team of high-priced attorneys and I was often without counsel. My faith in human decency was restored once I contacted Christopher Pudelski. From the outset, he was professional, respectful, attentive , and responsive. His fee arrangement was straightforward, transparent and remarkably reasonable--especially given what I had already spent on substandard legal representation. His brief was thorough, scholarly, extremely well-written and organized--and it was submitted on schedule. I write all this even though the appeal process has not been completed nor a ruling issued, because as far as I'm concerned, he has already earned every nickel of his fee. The ruling will be what it will be but I am more than satisfied because I know he has put 150% effort into it on my behalf. He is a credit to his profession--a rare one.

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.
