Hired Attorney Matthew Wooten

Highly do not recommend probably should’ve had a couple bar complaints during his time. This Atterny time management is horrible. Ignorance and neglect top-tier. Caseload seems to be too much for him. You’ll have in person on phone appointment. Then Have his secretary call and go over the same thing that you already went over with him double charge you and secretary very young and a family member of his. He will promise to set court dates will not follow through as more excuses than knowledge in his field. If you have a young adult in a traffic violation as simply as running a red light, he would probably be ok. serious matter you’re just gonna get the runaround.

Hired Law Firm

Very unprofessional quantity over quality minimum of 2 weeks to hear back when paralegals and secretary say will here back soon. I had two cases with wooten both were equally neglected and my 2 cases ended up being effected. No problem charging you outrageous amount for work not performed.10 months of wasted time and lies both casses neglected and 7,000 payed and they still want 7,000 more. Left me at a pl hearing to attend another said would have a court date before we left. He left me and my 80 year old grandmother with no court follow up court case date like promised. Paper work from that pl in October given to me in Feb (Five months later) We had a meeting over our court case on feb 15th that was never set Wooten decided to go on vacation and have his secretary call me to go over somthing we already had a meeting on and no court case on the feb15th like promised. 10 months of nothing but talk and no action. I have a new attorney now and it's nice to see how a firm should be ran.

Hired Law Firm

My family and I have exclusively used this law firm over the last 15 years and, after my most recent experience, the time has come to find a new firm. I came to them at the end of July 2022 with a simple request for a consent order for visitation that wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. Just needed the paperwork drawn up, sent out for signatures, and given to a judge to make it official. There was some concern the other party may not sign the order, but I was told we would essentially cross that bridge if we got to it. I was told, however, that if it wasn’t signed by a certain time that this could turn into a time-sensitive matter that required going to court since the previous arrangement was not congruent with what I was asking for in this new agreement and the next arranged visitation was in just 4 months. Even with being told it was a potentially time-sensitive matter, my entire case was essentially shoved to the far back of Mr. Wooten and his assistant, Olivia’s minds. They didn’

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.
