Posted by David Goodwick | October 16, 2009 | Business

Versatile, committed, ethical and smart

As a small businessman and a citizen, Francis has supported me with a wide variety of counsel. I turn to him for advice on the very mundane (landlord issues) to the very important (selling my business). His advice and wisdom is an important backstop to me, knowing I can always count on him to provid...e informed advice. He is easy to talk to and a pleasure to be around. I have worked with him for years, and will continue to do so.

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.
