Excellent Representation vs. DCF

Mr. Hahn represented us for a DCF matter. We were well prepared for the process, with expectations for the outcome reasonably set. Not only did Mr. Hahn allow us to best present our case, he masterfully exposed the flaws of the DCF position. Clearly, he is an experienced and skillful attorney. Th...e result was in our favor with a DCF reversal of their position. Mr. Hahn was highly professional, efficient and no nonsense, yet pleasant and easy to work with. We could not be more pleased with our experience and would highly recommend him.

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.
