Posted by Shawn | March 04, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Highly Recommend

Attorney Joshua Bearce successfully defended me in a restraining order matter. He had very little notice to prepare for the case but made sure he didn't miss a detail. He went over the facts until he was satisfied he had every detail to present my defense. He was professional yet aggressive in mak...ing his points! I'm very happy with his representation and would hire him again.

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.
