She helped us with a persistent problem with Workers Comp. our doctor's scheduler said in seven years of working with Comp cases, she'd never seen this type of problem resolved so effectively and quickly.

Hired Attorney Jaime Cain

she is an expert at going after social security recipients that are barely scraping by in this expensive economy. She is the grim reaper of real estate, and she does not play around. She will ruin your decent credit rating without so much a thought. She's got me on the ropes and is pummeling me looking for the knockout!!!

Hired Attorney Robert L. Boreanaz

Robert Boreanaz is on record as attacking Detective Richard Hy’s choice to blow the whistle against the leadership in Buffalo, New York on a podcast, instead of going through his chain-of-command. Detective Hy stated in the podcast that he could not go through his C-o-C because the problems were systemic. He also stated that those in his C-o-C that were not a part of the problem would not be able to affect change in a timely manner. To be clear, Detective Hy (an SVU detective) was talking about danger to children while at public schools. Time is of the essence in these situations. Attacking the guy trying to protect children at public schools is reprehensible behavior.

Hired Law Firm

On meeting Barry Covert, he made a great impression. We spoke for about 45 minutes, after which,he told me of all the steps necessary to win my case, which would end in a public statement. After 8 years and $15000,he actually held a conference in which he complained that he had invested $60,000 on my case and asked me to take negotiated settlement. I refused,2 days later the case was dismissed. Leaving me no recourse and 8 years of frustration and depression wonder when my case would ever see the light of day. Leaving me to continue my fight without representation!

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.
