2
Some lawyers may prioritize their own interests over the client's best interests
“DO NOT GO TO THIS LAWYER!!!! he is not a lawyer, he is a scam!! he never follow-up on my case, everytime i called him, all he said was " don't worry about it, everything is fine" and then on my court day, he showed up asking me about my case again like he never remembered it when i first came to his office and told him about my case.”
3
Inconsistent quality of service, with some clients reporting poor experiences
“Not Recommended. I found Dan because he was listed in a top 50 or 100 lawyers in DC area. I was excited to meet with someone with a such a reputation. The service I received over the course of 2 years was terrible.”
