Hired Law Firm

I came across this law firm because they are a part of my company's legal plan. Debra helped me with the traffic matter. By the time I showed up, she had everything ready. Not only she was able to negotiate to reduce my points to 0, we were in and out in a matter of few minutes. I had stood at the DMV 100 times longer to renew my registration. The staff are all courteous and polite. They pay attention to details and are willing to provide assistance. Overall, the best experience I've ever had

Hired Law Firm

Very satisfied with the Firm's service. The drafting of the will took a bit longer than I expected, but such service was not really "time-critical". I had to initiate calls and/or e-mail messages for information about the status of my will preparation.

Hired Law Firm

Bullied me into not going to trial and settling during mediation. She handled my case terribly, ripped me off for thousands of dollars in charging me taxes on my grandmothers estate that I did not owe. The only time she was nice is when I gave her the retainer money and was downhill after that. Would not return calls, had to fight for the little money I was granted she defended the party involved more than she did me. I am going to contact the Bar and try to get the money she stole from me.

Hired Attorney Ms. Debra Guston

Debra Guston and her firm are con artist. They tell you all these lies from what they can do and what will happen and i. The end the client gets screwed. Debra took my money to represent me in my divorce just to give my case to her inexperienced coworker who clearly knew nothing about divorce court. Once I voiced my concerns regarding the service I was receiving from her firm and asked her if she would take the lead and do the work she was paid for she advised that I couldn't AFFORD her!!!!

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.
