Critical highlights

  • We have used law firms in the past and this was by far the worst experience.
  • I was foolish enough to use their client reviews and ratings to hire not one, but two attorneys (one after another).

“Jerry Bodow Coastal Legal Center THE BEST”

Lynne M.
12/4/22

There are truly No Words to express how my Attorney Jerry Bodow has been a true blessing in my life. Jerry an his staff have been family to me and have looked out for me throughout a 7+ year case. They have worked tirelessly hard for me and my family. The support, friendship and love they have shown words can't describe enough. Jerry I am blessed to have you as my attorney and friend. Thank you for all your expertise, friendship and love.

AVVO is scam not honest company at all. I had bad experience with some scam attorney and tried twice but nothing.

Avvo allowed me to post a 2 sentence review, that said: I did not have a good experience with this attorney.The communication was poor. They cut it way back after I relyed to them, that he had me served with an EMAIL (DWL) threatening to sue me and take my assets and our home, over my review. Had he spend that much time on my personal injury case, I may not have written a bad review.Not all attorneys do a good job, nor do they even treat clients the same. That is the reality so get over it, listen to the criticism, and learn from it. Threatening clients you profited off of, by sending some "goon" to your home, and shoving an EMAIL under our kitchen door (when we were out of the country) does not scare me at all, Attorney McCoy. You forged my name on documents, used a MAGIC MARKER to ititial stuff, "I knew you would not agree too" (yup, his words exactly)... all of that effected the CIVIL RIGHTS lawsuit with a different attorney. I NEVER agreed to waive a Conn, statute, saying: I do not mind if my attorney profits off this case, more than I do. NOBODY in the world would sign that, and to think that we would, is insane. People maimed for life by a drunk driver, are not there, because we have nothing better to do. I need money for ongoing care. All I ended up with, is (2) BAD attorneys, and they both, threw me under the bus. CONNECTICUT is so CORRUPT. Liars, corruption, and threats, all because we are not kissing their behinds on avvo. Avvo, should have left it alone, because they denied the original one. They emailed me back saying he was "bluffing me", and that they "had my back with a pro bono attorney on staff". That was nice, but I never head from them ever again.
