Hired Attorney Stacy L. Burgett

Upon meeting with Stacy Burgett she was very professional and pro active in hearing my case concerning my son and co-guardianship. She gathered the facts immediately and pursued with a follow up call to Brian Herd to discuss the details of the case. I felt relieved and that someone was fighting for my rights. I met with her in the morning and after meeting with her I felt my day was off to a good, positive start.

Hired Attorney Victor M. Watson

Appears to run charges up. Did not appear to be as knowledgeable as first thought. No response to some questions. Does not like to be questioned about why he does some things. Did some actions without prior approval. Not a people person. Most important, did not contact me through this site. I finally had to go to the office.

I consulted with John on May 7, 2013. He was to write a letter to the condo. On May 10, after waiting all day to get a return call from his office, I was told that he would be tied up in court for two weeks and would not be able to do anything until after that. Today, May 30, after waiting all day for a return call, I was told he wouldn't be able to do anything. My problems with the condo need attention and now, after waiting more than three weeks and charging me for a consultation (which did

Hired Law Firm

In my opinion, this firm has acted inappropriately when advising a title company for a buyer of a property we are trying to sell. They refused to accept a judge's order removing an impediment to a will relating to the property by demanding an extra 30 days to allow petitioner of this clearly discernible illegitimate impediment to "appeal." They then demanded a declaration from the petitioner AND separate hold harmless documents within just 21 business days to meet our desired closing date. .

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.
