Excellent knowledge in this field

I had the pleasure to consult with Attorney Ackerstein. His knowledge and experience about employment law enabled me to put things in perspective I was able to step back and listen to everything we discussed. I would recommend Attorney Ackerstein to anyone who needs an employment lawyer. He is easy ...to talk to, responds very quickly.and explains things in "Non Attorney" language, which I found incredibly helpful .

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.
