Very solid person

Call this attorney for on the behalf of my elderly father. He was a very kind decent person to work with, and a great communicator. I understand that when you work with an attorney in his field it is not like going to traffic court meaning there is a lot of complexity which he was able to break it do...wn for someone who doesn’t work day-to-day in the field. I would not hesitate to use him in the future.

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.
