Exceptional lawyer

I hired a law firm prior to working with Mr. Cige and they misrepresented my case, costing me thousands. Within a short period of time working with Mr. Cige, I already began to see great progress. He is a true professional and a has a wealth of knowledge. I especially like the way he gave me a solid ...idea of what I could expect without candy coating anything. And his assessment was right on. He was extremely impressive in mediation. I knew that I did not have to worry about a thing. All I needed to do was follow his lead and I am so impressed with the results. He was diligent throughout the process and in his follow up with me and the opposing party. His office staff was a pleasure to work with as well. I very highly recommend Mr. Cige and in fact, I already have recommended him to a friend.

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.
