Hired Law Firm

Ms Johnson and her staff have made me feel like I have no right to communicate with them or make a mistake in calling them, I have been made to believe that she is paying me instead of me paying her. Yes I have made mistakes and sometimes due to stress I cant understand what you are saying so I ask her assistant to fax some papers to me and she refuse because it was 9 pages and she didnt have the time. I have paid her the fee that she charged. She is always on the defense and hard to communicate

Hired Law Firm

PAYMENTS WERE ALLOCATED TO HER OFFICE BEYOND THE PRICE OF AGREEMENT. Ms. Johnson promised the moon but once hired and paid communication changed drastically, she became hard to reach beyond her office staff and when able to communicate with her she did not follow through with the way she explained the process would work. It was too bad, so sad then. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone. Please steer clear.

Hired Law Firm

I went for a consult for reorganization of our finances. We have had major life situations over the last few years. Such as job loss, illness and death of a child, lost our home in the August flood. I was so very shocked at the visit. Ms. Johnson attitude was awful. She was very cold, insensitive, unprofessional in the manner in which she spoke to me. I left the meeting. PLEASE DO NOT PUT YOURSELF THROUGH THIS. There are other attorneys that will help you and not make you feel condemned .

Avoid this lady. She wasn't the least bit helpful. She went as far as to tell my husband that people will check our mailbox for information. Isn't that a federal offense? Also, they seemed to have a hard time communicating through email.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
