Compassionate and patient in handling difficult client situations

5

Cons
1
Lack of preparation and organization in court proceedings
“Does not come to court prepared and for what she charged I am out of a lot of money for nothing.”
2
Unresponsive and unsupportive in certain cases
“She rarely answered my inquiries with valuable information; she didn't help progress my case in court; I gave her my documents neatly organized in a binder with tabbed folders and when we parted ways, she gave them back in a messy stack full of post-its, all wrapped with a rubber band; she ignored my instructions about what I wanted to accomplish with the most critical area of my case - custody.”
3
Abandoned a client's case without explanation
“Ms. Avila assured my civil case would be taken care of. Ms. Avila assured I would be kept informed. After Ms. Avila was paid, I received an email from Ms. Avila stating she is abandoning the case. Ms. Avila never provided an explanation.”
