Excellent Advisor and Litigator

Ethan is an excellent attorney. He has an acute legal mind and is a tenacious and effective litigator. His writing is persuasive and he can be creative when necessary. He is not afraid to go to trial, but he is also able to maintain a constructive dialogue with opposing counsel which can be invalu...able for achieving a worthwhile settlement. Judges respect him. I highly recommend him.

Highly recommended Employment Lawyer

Ethan was referred to me by a friend and former colleague of his. He provided excellent legal services for my situation and was never too busy to take my call. He gave me one-on-one attention and made sure I was comfortable with the process. I was very pleased with the outcome from my case and hav...e already recommended him to friends and contacts who are in need of employment law counsel.

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.
