Your Best Choice

Mr. Brophy is a highly professional and caring attorney. He was the only attorney who answered my question on Avvo. There is about 1700 (!) more of his detailed answers to the other people . Actually, Mr. Brophy gave me a great and helpful assistance besides his answer on Avvo ,even though he doesn't... practice law in my state. It was so thoughtful of him and so valuable to me! After dealing with indifference and unprofessionalism of many other attorneys I am kind of envious of the people who would get lucky to become Mr. Brophy's clients.

Professional and Trustworthy

I feel very grateful and fortunate to have found you and most importanty for taking my case when other lawyers didn't believe I had a case. Thanks for handling my case with both patience and professionalism. My hearing impairment made it a little difficult at times but you made it easier for me by m...eeting me halfway all the time. I will most definitely use you If I needed to again and will refer you to anyone who can use your services in the future.

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.
