Posted by anonymous | August 11, 2016 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Called for consultation

Every 5th word out of her mouth was ummm. Didn't answer any of my questions regarding my civil rights violation. Would definitely not recommended even calling this lady for any help.

Replied last November 2, 2016

This review is given anonymously and so I can not say for certain but according to my records, I did receive a call from a gentleman on this date who refused to give me his name and refused to answer any of my questions regarding his situation. Then he got angry and belligerent with me for refusing to answer questions due his lack of response. If a potential client is incapable or unwilling to answer the attorney's questions regarding his or her case, then I, or any other attorney, can't help them.

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.
