Hired Attorney L. Sidney Connor IV

Sid is very knowledgeable about how to terminate time share ownership. It is very difficult for an individual to accomplish what Sid did for me. After I provided the information he needed from me, he immediately started the lengthy process of cancelling the time share I had purchased in a high pressure sales environment. He knew exactly the process that needed to be followed to relieve me of the legal responsibilities I created when I signed the documents presented to me following the sales presentation. He explained the process that needed to be followed and took care of every requirement that would be generated in this process. He us very honest and explained the cost and length of time it would take to cancel my financial obligations to the selling organization. His numbers were exactly as he said which removed the burden I had created. I strongly recommend Sid for anyone who needs to cancel a time share ownership they regret creating. He is the BEST.

Gene Connell and his staff couldn't have been more protective of me and my situation. They saw me through a really tough five years but in the settlement made sure my injury was covered for years ahead. I'm so thankful for that, I didn't even realize that was 'a thing'. I recommend them highly for any situation you my have.

Ms. Davis was very rude and really didn't want to speak to me. She made me feel as if I was wasting her time, I was dumb for calling and should not have called her or her law firm. It took very little time for me to realize she didn't care at all.

I would not let this woman represent my dog in a cat fight. If you a crack head looking for quick money for a fix, She perfect for you. Run as fast and far as you can. Good luck with this one. Her and Dr. Johnston are a waste of money

I submitted my story about my case since their website mentions they do cases on wrongful termination. I received an email back within 5 mins stating that "We are a right to work state meaning you may be fired for any reason and may quit for any reason. I suggest you find a new job as you can't win this case." The email was rude towards the end. I did not go to school to be a lawyer, however I do know what it means to be wrongfully terminated against law. And clearly they do not.

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.
