Hired Attorney

I hired this attorney after being referred to him by a friend who had hired him. At first he was polite and seemed concerned but as the case drug on and on, I realized that I was being milked for cash and that my case was being allowed to linger and not progress. I began to feel disrespected in conversations with him and wondered if I should not seek council somewhere else but foolishly remasined loyal in the face of utter disrespect. In retrospect, I made a mistake by trusting someone that I can clearly see had no true concern for my case and only cared about how long he could drag it out to continue charging fees. Now the case is finally over and I am uposet at the unprofessional manner in which it was not handled by Mr. Ripper. In his defense he did have an accident where he fell and was severely injured but he should have retired instead of harming his clients through his impairment. Whatever he was in the past, he is no longer. Do not stake your future on this attorney.

Hired Attorney

Mr Ripoff likes to play god with other peoples lives which in my case involved selling me down the river. I'm not completely sure what his problem is but I do not think he is a good lawyer. He said some racist things to me about Black people being less than white people which made me question his ethics. Either way I won't hire this one again.

Hired Attorney

Dan has got to be the most horrible lawyer ever! He ripped my mother in law off as he didn't do the job he was paid to do. He doesn't communicate very well at all and only went to see my husband 4 times in 15 months. He didn't fight for my husband in court. There were so many things he should have done differently! I would not recommend him to even represent my dog! Don't waste your money hiring him!!!

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.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
