Successful Workman's Comp case

I had the pleasure of working with Richard in a complicated WC case. He was always professional, always clearly explained what I could expect, was always well-prepared, always thoroughly prepared ME and always reachable. These points are very important because when you hire a lawyer, you enter a cas...e as a 'team'. The case was adjudicated over a period of 2 years; we won the case and the appeal. Very, very satisfied with my representation and would recommend him without reservation.

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.
