Excellent Lawyer

Mr Shimko is an excellent lawyer. He is well versed in many different aspects of the law, does a lot of research to make sure he covers all angles of the matter he is handling for you, and has years of experience working in the courthouse system. For over five years he has counseled me on a variety o...f issues, including helping me with the formation of my LLC; he expertly drafted and filed all the papers and walked me through the entire process with ease. Mr Shimko then helped my friend form his company. He also does some work helping out the board of my mother’s company. He is honest and thoughtful as a person, and a knowledgeable lawyer that knows just what to do in every 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.
