"Rick Blumenthal has an encyclopedic knowledge of bankruptcy law and applies his knowledge creatively to the benefit of his clients. He is full of great ideas and has the legal precedents to back up his approach at his fingertips. He is extremely generous in offering his time and expertise to lawyers, like myself, who practice in allied areas (in my case collections/enforcement of judgments) where bankruptcy issues are implicated. He is also generous with his time in speaking to potential clients. I know that I can feel secure that my clients will get competent and caring representation when I refer them to Rick Blumenthal."

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.
