Hired Attorney Ms. Robin F. Verhoeven Esq.

She preys on clients vulnerabilities.She’s uncommunicative violates the code of ethics like breathing.Meets with opposing counsel behind her clients back.That would be me only to deny it and make veiled threats after she failed to answer calls after failing to represent me properly.She padded her bills, submitted documents that required my signature that I had no knowledge of & even attended a hearing without my knowledge and lied about it!In less than a year charged $20,000 for a case that had no legal standing to be heard in the state of North Carolina or even through Federal law.I found that out after I fired her.It took my new attorney two weeks to figure that out & a fraction of the cost Ms. Verhoeven charged me. She has already been sanctioned for doing the same thing to multiple clients only getting a slap on the wrist as a way to deter her from that behavior in 2018 yet she did it again to me in 2020! She is a blemish on her profession & shouldn’t be allowed to practice law!

Hired Law Firm

Donna Ambler Davis knowingly employs and enables the work of a dishonest attorney, Robin Verhoeven, who has been disciplined by the NC State Bar. Donna is ethically impaired. Avoid at all cost. I'm shocked and appalled by these women's conduct. They take advantage of vulnerable clients.

Hired Attorney Ms. Robin F. Verhoeven Esq.

If I had known she had previously been censured by the NC Bar, I would not have hired her. She does not communicate or respond when contacted and does not follow through, leaving you hanging in an emotional mess. Please save your time, money, and emotional sanity and look elsewhere. There are plenty of good lawyers out there! Unfortunately, I learned the hard way.

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.
