Superb experience

Mr. Jewell handled my divorce with such a dedication and compassion. I was updated on a regular basis as to where my case stands both legally and financially. It was done efficiently and I was able to move on with my life faster than I expected.

Endorsement

I worked with Robert in a situation that had delicate divorce law issues intertwined with tax issues. In collaborating on this matter I saw that he was clear regarding the implications for complex divorce proceedings, and also helped to provide encouragement to the client to make hard decisions in a... difficult situation.

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.
