Hired Attorney Atty. Timothy Stewart

Tim is an exceptional attorney who is concise, knowledgeable, and fair. He is able to research issues and come back with precision and not the ambiguity we have experienced with other ERISA attorneys in the past. His fees for service are more than reasonable and he is very nice to work with as he is a consummate professional.

Hired Law Firm

I didn't have to like the attorney in order for him to do a good job. I felt he was arrogant and did not listen to us and liked to hear himself talk. However, he ended up representing us well and we received a very good settlement. Again, I did not "like" the attorney and of course thought it was expensive but he saved us money in the long run and handled our case with a great deal of confidence and expertise. I guess we have a love/hate relationship with our attorney.

Hired Attorney Atty. Patricia Kujawa

Attorney Kujawa took my money and failed to protect me. She gave me detrimental advice and did nothing to further my interest in my case. She even failed to show up for court. She told me to ignore actions of the guardian ad litem which were improper. She failed to address the opposing parties conduct which supported my case.

Hired Attorney Atty. Patricia Kujawa

Failed to protect me when the other party in the case harassed me. Initially promised to do discovery of other party and didn't. Later required more money again promising to do discovery, but again didn't do discovery. She cost me over $20,000 of which $12,500 were for her fees,and did nothing. Frequently absent. Failed to show up in court for hearing. Left me with no standing in my own case. Arrogant and insulting. Ignored all information that would have allowed me to prevail. Did

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.
