Extremely professional and responsive

Attorney Forte offered me excellent counsel throughout a difficult legal situation. He always took my call and got straight to the point in developing a strategy that would provide the best outcome. Jeff genuinely cared about me as a client and took interest in seeing the matter all the way through. ...His counsel was spot on - I highly recommend.

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.
