Posted by anonymous | October 22, 2012 | Domestic Violence

intimidating and harmful

As a domestic violence victim, I found my interactions to be retraumatizing. She doesn't allow you to ask questions, make statements, or feel your concerns about safety are valid. She's abrupt, condescending, and rude. She doesn't give advice to get you a safe, workable custody order. She works from ...the status quo not the needs of the client. In Delaware, there's no professional standards board that's apart from the legal community, so basically a bad lawyer can bully without impartial oversight. It's all about money.

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.
