Recommendation: Att. Peter A. O'Karma

Att. O'Karma was invaluable to my personal injury case from an automotive accident that occurred in 2012. In addition to proactively facilitating the transition of my case to his office, he also secured a settlement that met my ongoing medical needs as well. Without his support & legal consideratio...n, I would have been left bereft without solid footing to stand on. Along with his advanced training & solid, real-life experiences in the courtroom, Att. O'Karma went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that my case was maximally represented. I consider him to be a quintessential contributor to the legal community, and would confide in his legal expertise again if a need should arise.

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.
