Best Lawyer

I had worked with other attorneys before. And I believe attorney Sylvia is among the best lawyers in MA. He provided me valuable legal advice. And he negotiated my case professionally with the other attorney. Despite his busy schedule, he was always available to address any concern I had for any part...icular legal issues. And he always keep me informed about my case by email, by text or at his office. I highly recommend attorney Sylvia!

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.
