Posted by anonymous | January 13, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Mr. Flanagan The one you go to for someone who truly cares for the people and not just the money!!!!!

Mr. Flanagan went above and beyond for me. He is a very compassionate and wonderful Lawyer. Mr. Flanagan truly cares about the people, he is not just in it for the money. A police officer wrongly charged me with texting while driving. The officer stated that just for having my cell phone in my hand h...e had the right to ticket me. I hired Mr. Flanagan and he won the case for me! He was affordable, professional, and on Point with all his skills!!!

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.
