Litigation lawyer | May 14

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I was introduced to Attorney Smith by my father, a practicing lawyer for over 50 years. After speaking with him in reference to an extremely complicated case, my thought was that he was playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers. His years as a law professor give him a distinct analytical advantage over virtually all other attorneys."

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.
