Where do I begin, well here's a good start, I would definitely NOT recommend this law firm! They are terrible, I had 7 maybe 8, 9 lawyers, never knew they were leaving, and had to send paper work to each one because of the circus this firm is, all I got was, " I cant find the paperwork you sent, I don't know where she/he put it, blah blah blah................Settlement? I got crap, but they sure got their cut! BS! My accident happen in 2010, and I just now in 2016 got my crap settlement!

Hired Law Firm

After 1 entire year of handling my social security disability case (allegedly),I was told by the person handling my case that s.s.i. had accepted my claim and that I had a check for "back pay" at their office. When I arrived,they told me there was no check,and no settlement. I was flat out lied to for a whole year!!!

I had multiple representatives who at one point lost my file and had to completely redo everything. My case wasn't as "simple" as they wanted and I was made out to feel like i was the person in the wrong, it felt like my well being was the last thing that was being considered. They were rude, would promise a call "between 10 and 2" and call at 4:30. My actual lawyer was never able to give me an actual answer to questions I asked and it made things worse than the original situation. and more

They have made my very easy case. 1 million times harder they couldn't find out limits which I did once I fired them . They are the laziest firm I've ever seen. They won't call or even care but when I fired them they wanted to talk. They have friends post bogus reviews all over. Everyone I have talked to says they destroyed their cases and cost them a lot of money. They won't release me even after I offered to pay all their fees up to date???? Best way to see how they work call and talk to a fir

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.
