Family lawyer | Mar 22

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer without question, even when we are rolling up our sleeves and fighting hard for our clients. Throughout the years, I have had several matters where Steve and I have been adversaries. I have seen him in action in court. He fights hard for his clients. He is a knowledgeable opponent. I have heard from many reliable attorneys that he is also an excellent mediator. I am not surprised."

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.
