great job!

I could not have been more pleased with Attorney Starbranch's services. He and his staff kept me informed throughout the entire process and were very quick to respond to emails. After he reviewed the police reports he filed a motion to suppress due to an unreasonable search and seizure. As a result h...e got my case dismissed without even going to trial.

Worst Attorney

Plaintiff in my case admitted I never touched him in this simple assault case, however Attorney Starbranch still managed to lose my case costing me money to appeal with another attorney. His secretary Jessica very rude and immature, Attorney Starbranch can not get a favorable resolution, very rude... and then when you contact him after the fact for the files or information he is rude and bitter. Stay clear of Harry Starbranch

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.
