Posted by Andrew | November 11, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

Excellent Attorney - Very Professional including his team members

Bob represented me against my former employer who claimed I owed them money while in reality the employer owed me significant commissions. Bob and his team worked with me by understanding my situation, explaining the legal aspects, my options, and realistic chances for success. He always seemed to ...have my best interest at heart rather than settling the case quickly and moving on. As questions arose, he was able to clearly explain the procedures, the timing, etc. I was very satisfied with the ultimate outcome of settling the case whereby I received reasonable compensation without having to wait undeterminably. I highly recommend Bob as an attorney.

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.
