No communication

I met Michele Austin in August and retained her services to file a case against my previous landlord. Since August, I've emailed Michele 4 times and called her office multiple times. While I've spoken to her secretary Jacqueline on multiple occasions, Michele has NEVER returned a single call or email.... I went up to the office at the end of September because I had not heard from her and she never apologized for her lack of communication. I will be filing a complaint with the Office of Attorney Ethics and save your time and money and find another lawyer.

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.
