Recovered 256000 dollars of estate monies!

I retained Mr Karvay to help me finish an estate that my previous attorney refused to complete. Mr Karvay gathered the evidence and recovered 256000 dollars of the estate monies. I have had other attorneys in the past but none as knowledgeable as Mr Karvay. He is a no nonsense attorney and I had t...he pleasure of seeing how a real attorney works. I have already highly recommended Mr Karvay to represent another estate. You really want him to represent you in estate matters. I would not take a chance on another attorney because he is simply the best.

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.
