Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I posted a ripoff, but LawyerRatingz.com - Lawyerratingz.com - Ratingz Inc. would not let me post even though Attorney Stephen Jones cheated me. My friend/cousin help me. I am complain about Mr. Stephen Jones of Jones, Sledzik, Garneau & Nardone, Garneau, 670 White Plains Road, White Plains, NY 10601, 914-472-2300.

Why doesn't LawyerRatingz.com let me post? Is it Mr. Stephen Justin Jones connection to the Coalition for Family Justice (Coalition for Family Injustice). Is he colluding?

I do not know why Lawyerratingz won't let me post. Mr. Stephen Justin Jones - Stephen Jones - first said he served me by Fed x to one court, then he said he served me by regular mail to another court.

He found 2 retainers and each one had a different hourly rate after I disputed his bill because he overcharge me. Only problem I did not sign the 2nd retainer.

I do not think Lawyerratingz is fair! I had bad experience. I will try Avvo.com to see if they are honest.

LawyerRatingz is intended as a place where users of legal services can post their experiences and opinions.  Unfortunately, we sometimes get reviews that violate our terms of use, or we get repeated reviews from the same person or company.  We use both human moderators and automated processes to remove these false reviews, whether they are positive or negative.   We do know that sometimes our algorithms may sometimes remove valid reviews, and we work constantly to improve the process.

We get several threats a week from attorneys who want us to take down negative reviews, and we ignore these threats.  In fact, LawyerRatingz is currently being defended by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has filed a suit in federal court to block a Florida attorney who has threatened to sue the site.

The evidence shows that we are not afraid to allow negative reviews, even at the risk of legal action. 

However, if you want to use our site to post repeated reviews of the same attorney, or to violate our terms of use, expect to be blocked.  (If you believe a valid review has been blocked in error, use the contact form on our site, and include a reference to the specific page you'd like us to check.)

I also used to use and visit the lawyerratingz website, however, I noticed that lawyers, who I know rip off their clients, had outstanding ratings i.e. 5/5 rating which is not realistic.

The same lawyers originally had many negative ratings which were constructive, realistic, and more reliable feedback from clients, however, the staff at lawyerratingz removed the majority or allof the negative ratingsreceived for theselawyers and the extremely positive ratings remained. I had seen this happen. One day you would see three negative ratings for a lawyer then it disappeared and three extremely positive ratings appeared for the same lawyer and all were posted on the same day.

The false outstanding ratings for these particular lawyers look like they were written by the lawyers themselves, their family members or friends because a REAL CLIENT wouldn't write down a list of the lawyer's accomplishments etc.... but about their experiences. Also, the extremely positive ratings were posted in multiples (2 or 3 at a time) all on the SAME DAY. Suspicious....Yes. Flagged......No. Those ratings remained and the negative ratings were removed.

Therefore I would not recommend the lawyerratingz website because it isa unreliable resource. They are misleading the public by giving the impression of false positive ratingsfor these lawyers.

Lawyerratingz.com is a farce

Lawyerratingz.com also removes real ratings for Dennis Coe who is a government employee paid by Los Angeles County Child Support Services Department for stealing money from innocent people - there a multiple court cases, spanning many, many years about the County doing that. Dennis Coe is responsible for the fact that a child is now brain damage - this FACT is substantiated by medical records. Dennis Coe refused to do anything to stop the abuse even when it was discussed in open court. During that hearing, Coe stated he was "representing the best interests of the child" and yet had NEVER seen that child. Instead, he's too busy stealing money from innocent people. Lawyerratingz is a farce.

I agree: Lawyerratingz.com is useless and did the same thing with Lenna Ndoko

Its funny when you go to comment about LENNA ETONDE NDOKO. You are prompted to register and when you do, you dont get that email to "confirm" your registration. Lenna has messed up lots of cases including mine and now she is going around blaming it on her assistant that only worked a few months. Lenna did so much to me- including hiding my medical exam in her desk and saying USCIS were lying that they did not receive it. Lots of clients could not file a complaint because she was practising in texas but licenced by New York State bar. She was only allowed to practice immigration but was practising family law illegally. Anyway Lawyerratingz.com is a useless website because they allow pigs like lenna to cheat.

I've seen exactly the same thing - vile, unethical, lying shysters are PROTECTED by Lawyerratingz.com which removes valid posts. At the same time, they let the sleazy scumbag shysters give themselves GLOWING ratings. What a joke. Stay away from Lawyer Ratingz and post your real complaints here.
