Hired Law Firm

I was brought up that if you don’t have nothing nice to say then don’t say anything at all. However, I am make an exception today. I was happy with the lawyer they gave me, however without notifying me they allowed a lady named Maria to take over my case without my approval. Maria told me SSI was closed due to Covid which was not true. I called and was able to speak to someone there. I thought Maria meant only work at home but she was wrong. The building was open. Maria suggested that I start from scratch and refile. Seriously? I’ve been trying to get approval for 3 years ( refilling would make me lose a lump statement) I did HER job, called SSI and they said that starting over would make you lose thousands if you become approved so they highly recommended to not do that. I waited a few weeks and Maria said, refile or I would not be your lawyer anymore. I told her, I will find someone else. I’m not going to start all over (years of documentary proof) Maria is lazy.

Hired Attorney Lorna Orak

Unreliable, unresponsive and irresponsible. Not only did they lose my case because of irresponsibility,they had me doing all the work and the attorney did not review my case until the night before. Not to mention this wasn't my assigned attorney nor could I tell you who was my case manager because they kept changing. While in court the only thing I heard from them was "yes your honor" . I spoke for myself. I have 3 recommendations from doctors and for some reason I'm sitting here without advice from them and an appeal letter.

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.
