Posted by Terry | October 15, 2015 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Exploitive

I recently hired Ms. Wik to create a trust plan for my estate. The resulting plan was very poorly written with numerous ambiguities that would open the possibility of litigation over the meaning of the document. I had to have it rewritten to clarify the meaning. Much of the time with her was spent ...in talking about her family and her situation yet she billed exorbitantly for her services.

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.
