Hired Attorney

***DO NOT HIRE THIS LAWYER!!!!**** WARNING!!! SEAN IS ABSOLUTELY THE WORST LAWYER YOU COULD POSSIBLY HIRE IF YOU ARE FIGHTING FOR THE CUSTODY OF YOUR CHILDREN, NEVERMIND IF ITS AN EMERGENCY. HE WILL ABSOLUTELY RIP YOU OFF AND TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN. HE LIKES TO BLOW UP ON YOU AND LITERALLY START SCREAMING OVER THE PHONE WHEN YOU ASK A SIMPLE QUESTION. THEN MUCH LIKE A CHILD, HE WILL SEND AN EMAIL AFTERWARDS STATING THAT HE IS SORRY FOR GOING OFF ON YOU. HE DIDNT FILE THE PAPERWORK WE TALKED ABOUT IN OUR INITIAL CONVERSATION, BUT HE WAS VERY QUICK TO TAKE OUR DEPOSIT AND REFUSES TO RETURN ANY OF THE MONEY. WE HAD TO HIRE A NEW LAWYER BECAUSE SEAN CANCELLED OUR MEETING WITH HIM AND WE HAD NO WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIM BEFORE OUR COURT DATE. UPON HIRING OUR NEW LAWYER, THEY STATED THIS WOULDNT BE THE FIRST TIME THEY'VE HEARD OF HIM BEING FIRED AND HE IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING IN THE COURT ROOM AND TREATS HIS CLIENTS AWFULLY. DONT EVEN BOTHER PEOPLE!!! SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE & MONEY!!

These FAQs include information about a lawyer's background, but do not evaluate their knowledge of the law, past performance on individual cases, personality, or communication skills.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

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
