Hired Law Firm

If you can win big I would recommend Dinsmore and Shohl. We didn't have a significant sum to win so we were told to walk away. We paid a retainer up front and then received a large bill after the case was closed. The bill was higher than what it should have been according to their hourly rates and charges.

Professional but expensive. the breach of contract was a very expensive litigation for a basically open and shut case. Employment contract review was excellent.

Slow to respond; let opposing counsel take lead; too many little mistakes

Wills and Probate

Hired Attorney Wade Lawson

Wade Lawson worked on a probate case I was involved in. Another attorney was the executor. Wade was the person the executor went to when he was unsure of what he was doing. By the way was the entire length of probate that lasted almost four years. This was a simple case due to the fact there was no property, no car, and a sole beneficiary. The attorney/executor drug out the probate for his own monetary gain. I believe it's called billing hours fraud. He never made a move without consulting Wade Lawson. Due to him dragging out the case he received 15% of the deceased estate. The sole beneficiary received nothing. In one interim statement there was some 400 phone calls not to mention emails. Thanks in part by Wade Lawson who did much of the so called work. Wade was compensated for his input from the deceased estate as well. They had each others back. I can't recommend someone who would take advantage of a deceased person.

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.
