Never returns call in timely manner

I hired Jonathan for tenant-landlord case. He took retainer amount and some documents for review. I emailed the remaining documents to him. After this he would not return phone calls. He only wanted to meet on day of hearing for few minutes. Meeting before trial date at court premises is not way to c...onduct legal business. I would not recommend any one hire him.

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.
