Couldn't ask for a better lawyer

Lou was the best lawyer a girl could have. Not only did he empathize with my situation, but he went the extra mile to always keep me informed and clearly had my best interests in mind. I trust him 100% and feel he is an expert in his field. He puts the client first and truly makes you feel he is ther...e to take care of you.

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.
