LAWYERS TO AVOID*
We believe the following lawyers are guilty of unethical practices. Such practices include, but are not limited to: dragging legal matters out needlessly, causing intentional emotional distress, failing to reveal truths, conspiring with opposing counsel, harassment, overcharging, failing to return phone calls, ineffective assistance of counsel, and others. Our opinion is based on documented complaints received by clients, personal experience and/or news media reports:
