Overall trend: Continuing strongly negative feedback, with a fresh wave of April 2026 Avvo complaints echoing earlier themes (poor communication, incorrect legal advice, rudeness, billing issues). Note: the attorney has posted the same reply to each of the new negative reviews claiming the reviewer is not a client and citing a court order. |
