Law Office of Annette Rutkowski LLC- CLOSED

From the moment I hired her to help she has been helpful understanding and always easy to get hold of

Annette is the best!! She fought hard and won my case for me!!

Very competent.

I called to schedule a consultation and was transferred directly to the lawyer. I was not prepared to speak with her as far as having my thoughts organized. She was very dismissive and condescending. She didn't seem interested in talking to me or getting the information she needed to determine whether or not she could help me. I ended up hanging up on her. I would not recommend her to anyone. I felt like she thought I was wasting her time. Her website claims that she takes the time to understand you and your individual case. I found her to be someone I would not want to speak to again.

I hired her to do an appeal for my LTD. What she did instead is request an informal review of my case. I requested my records from her and of course all I can see is the same records that the insurance company has already reviewed. I'm trying to find out if another attorney will take it to court for me but that's not looking very promising. I would not recommend her to anyone! I wish I didn't have to give her any stars to post this because she isn't worth even 1/4 of a star.

If I could give less than a 1 Stat I would. I had not read the other review until just now and it was 100% my own experience. I was sent to her, which is great to get to directly be sent to talk with the attorney your first call...except she was very RUDE, asking so many questions all at once without allowing time to answer in between then when she was finally done ranting her every call repetitive speel she got frustrated if I didn't remember everyone of her rushed questions....many to which I had never even thought of before & I have a college degree in Law & Society so I know this is NOT how a lawyer should behave. She too said my chances of winning would be like to none but first before she'd meet with me I WOULD have to go get copies of medical records, call Social Security & find out certain dates for her & then provide that to her before she'd decide to take my case or not. The entire time being so rude and hopeless but agreed to take my case but then she let me know what all I'd have to be doing FOR HER, it was no different than doing it myself other than a lawyer would be sending it in it felt like. Don't pick doom & gloom...pick someone positive & upbeat!

Thank you for your honest and franks reviews. It saves everyone the heartache and humiliation when you're disabled. It's not great for her practice and hopefully she'll change her demeanor and tactics. Such a pity when I think of the hundreds of people already subjected to her degrading "professionalism".
