    After I saw that other review with a 1-star rating, I felt that I had to same something, also.I had a very similar experience with this law firm. They ran up fees for unnecessary actions that, according to another attorney, were completely unwarranted. My legal costs were nearly double what they should have been.But that wasn't the worst of it. AVWH&F went to trial completely unprepared to make a legal argument. They told the court how they followed administrative procedure (more so than necessary and therefore the high costs), but they had no legal argument to defend my case and win the lawsuit. The opposing attorneys made mince meat out of my lawyers in the legal debate. I lost the case. My financial loss was huge. It dwarfed my additional losses for legal fees. And AVWH&F didn't care at all. They said, "You win some. You lose some. Here's our invoice. Pay up or we ***************** know...I heard stories about scummy lawyers, but these guys take the cake. The only thing they cared about was running up their fees.

    Incompetent & Dishonest The team at Allen Vellone represented me in a claim for hundreds of thousands of dollars. They ran up nearly $100,000 in legal fees to get HALF WAY through the lawsuit. Then they discovered--from the opposing attorney--that my claim was capped at $25,000. I would lose huge sums of money on attorney fees even if I won my claim.When Allen Vellone learned that I lost no matter what, they advised me to swallow my losses and settle. In order to offset a small amount of their incredibly damaging blunder, they offered to discount their fees for the final stage of the lawsuit. However, Allen Vellone then rescinded their offer to discount my final bill and they ADDED a large sum of fees that they had not yet disclosed to me. I lost more and more while they pocketed more and more profits for themselves.Allen Vellone is utterly incompetent.Possibly worse than that, they are absolutely dishonest.YOU CAN'T TRUST ALLEN VELLONE.
