Posted by Greg | January 05, 2016 | Hired Attorney

Ed is smart

Ed handled the financial side of my divorce. It became fairly complicated, and enormously expensive ($1M+ legal costs)because my ex-wife's attorney - Gordon Wilcox - went the "scorched earth" route. In the end, Ed's amazing attention to detail, and his deep knowledge of the law, finance, and courtroo...m behavior (Yes we went to trial) resulted in a settlement that went strongly in my favor. BTW, My advice to anyone contemplating the adversarial "scorched earth" approach is to talk to a lot of attorneys before going that route. In our divorce it backfired badly on my Ex!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
