Posted by Kirk | May 23, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Real Estate

Rory is a superb litigator

Rory skillfully exposed the contradictions in my opponent’s surveyor’s testimony and brought forward my own expert’s strongest points. He maneuvered my opponent to admitting that he had written a right of way over my property into his own deed in a bizarre attempt to claim the property as his own. ... He showed mathematically how if we added up their property line measurement claims at the turns of the property line, the opponent’s claims actually put his property corner in the middle of the state road. The end result was that after years of litigation with a neighbor who had harassed me by putting no trespassing signs on my property , painted lines on my trees and boulders, harassed my contractors with threats of calling the police, well we won on every point. Thank you again Rory!

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.
