"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have great respect for Michael Jaffe (no relation). Insightful, articulate, professional, Mr. Jaffe never fails to respond, and his response is never off-point nor overbearing. On several occasions, I have used Mr. Jaffe as a resource for finding answers to questions on novel legal issues. It is no wonder why he is so well regarded by the bench and bar."

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.
