This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thank you

In turning to Mr Strauss I was feeling very vulnerable, in pain, and like I was at a dead end in being able to get the help I needed. Mr Strauss and staff were very helpful to facilitate the care I needed to stabilize my health. Mr Strauss always reviewed all the facts, the pros and cons to any situa...tion that arose, and helped me navigate the complexity of what my rights were to get the care I needed to be able to function again. Mr Strauss was able to settle my case reasonably and without having to go through a lengthy litigation process. I feel he was able to negotiate and settle the matter that he was handling with my best interest in mind at all times. Thank you again for a job well done. If I ever needed your assistance again or knew anyone who did I would certainly call or recommend without hesitation.

beyond dedication

Mr. Strauss has shown me dedication beyond my belief. He has helped me push forward when i started to lose hope and for that, i am extremely grateful. When i felt my case would be a loss, he helped show me the full picture and succeeded in my case. His integrity and morals towards individuals, whethe...r a consultation or a client, brighten the mood and helps those in need. I will forever use Mr. Strauss as my attorney and i will continue to refer him to family, friends, co-workers as well as others in need. Thank you Mr. Strauss for everything.

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.
