This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very professional

I am very pleased with my experience working with Mr. Gorton, he is very hardworking and professional and I would recommend his services. He helped me with a criminal defense matter and made the entire process as easy and painless as it could possibly be. He also kept me well informed of the process ...along the way, which is important because the legal system can be confusing and scary to ordinary people. Mr. Gorton understands that and does what he can.

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.
