Hired Attorney Mark E. Godbey

The law firm knew the new laws about bankruptcy. Really, the only problem we had with the law firm was their response in answering our questions. It seemed like they were trying to avoid us. The lawyer was short with us at times; we had the feeling that we were being a bother to them.

Hired Law Firm

The attorney was nice enough to see me without an appointment despite having set one up that was lost. He was very impatient, rude and gave me no other information than I was screwed and need an attorney and he would not talk with me further.{para}His attitude was that of the rich looking down at the poor and even had the nerve to address me as if I was of little financial worth. When I left I felt worse about the situation than I had before.

Hired Law Firm

WORST LAW FIRM! The lawyer I got was for my divorce/custody case. She was awful! She was late to hearings, forgot evidence at the office, forgot to document things agreed to in mediation onto paperwork which ended up making me have to pay my ex abuser 3,500. 😭 She knowledge it was all her fault and told me she felt bad and would have it taken off the fees I owed her. Oh that was before she up and left the practice in the middle of my case without even telling me. They gave me another lawyer in there firm but she knew nothing about my case she gave me bad advice which ended me getting a contempt charge more money I didn’t have. I’m a mom with 2 kids trying to get out of a abusive marriage. I ended up finishing my case myself because the firm already charged me 10,798 which doesn’t include the 3,000 I paid to represent me and the 3,500 the lawyer said she would have taken off never happened the Law Firm says they have no way to verify. All this money I’m charged and for what?

Hired Law Firm

Mr Godbey represented us in a car accident case. At the beginning of the case we agreed upon a certain percentage for him to handle the case. After two years, he settled my case without my knowledge. Then when I received my check, he took a extra six thousand dollars!

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.
