Professionalism with Respect

As one can see in my rating of Mr. Day, I would not for a nano second hesitate in recommending him to to anyone, who needs help. As I have pointed out, he always conduct himself in a professional manner, and he has always kept me informed about everything concerning my case. Anyone who need the help ...of a lawyer, I would advise them to make Mr. Day their one and only choice.

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.
