Do not hire! Do not recommend!

I hired this attorney last year to represent me for a simple child custody case and it’s not over yet. I had to go consult another attorney now to get help. I wasted all my morney i invested. The case was postponed 2x before ever going to court last July which was 3 months after filing. The defenda...nt settled out of court but never signed the order. I tried contacting this attorney several times to find an answer but no return communication from him. The times I had problems with anything I had no help. Then the second week on January he texted me one morning which I was 6 hours away working and asks if I m on the way. I said on the way where? He said to court? I was in total devastation. This attorney never contacted me once about this date. The court date was again scheduled 2 weeks later and the night before I texted, emailed and called to leave messages letting him know I had an emergency to deal with. He again texted me and asked if I was on my way to court. How can an attorney be so shallow and not represent a client. The judge dismissed my case that day. Im having to again file the case with another attorney but they are outside this district.

Honest Lawyer

He's as honest as the day is long. Told me right up front what my chances were in my case and didn't sugarcoat anything. So happy I hired him. My husband got completely ripped off by his attorney. Emmons is one of the good guys.

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.
