Hired Law Firm

They are Horrible No return call backs. Charge you to FedEx over night. Wont take fax. They want to take more then half of your settlement off you... In 2012 I was told I had no case Then 2 years later they contacted me and said you have a case... Told me it would only take 4 -6 months to get my settlement took years..... They take more money out of your settlement. Your the one that is suffering not them. I'm Not settling for what they want to give me... Call a new attorney to settle my case.

They are horrible to get in touch with no one knows anything and they come out with more of your money than you do! Only communication is if you keep hounding them! And like I said my case was the meningitis case I got 23000$ and I'm only get 9200$! Pathetic how? Obviously they couldn't handle the case and I'm paying two lawyers and unknown extraand crazy amount of extras 2600$ extras really! I do not recommend them to anyone for anything! Thinking of contacting outside this is so messed up!

Hired Law Firm

I agree with reviewer in April 2016. No one knows what they are doing at the Portsmouth, VA office. My case was handed off to a new paralegal who couldn't answer any questions without consulting another worker. Several times I requested to speak with the actual attorney and no calls received or he was always on vacation. My case has been pending since 2010 with no results to date. AND...the case continues to go on & on to no end. Considering starting over with another law firm.

Hired Law Firm

A friend referred me to the Moody Law firm, but they were atrocious. Getting in touch with them and/or getting them to return a call was next to impossible despite the fact that they are in line to collect over $80k in legal fees. They did next to nothing, other than fill out forms and we had to chase down our own medical records, most of which were never used nor reviewed. We never met nor spoke with an actual attorney and were passed off to paralegals.

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.
