Very easy to work with!

Mr. Probstein was very helpful and knowledgeable when answering my questions. He knew exactly what I needed to do to solve my problem and explained it without making me feel like I didn't know what I was doing.

Legal Advice from Property Owner

Mr. Probstein called me quickly with the legal advice necessary in the instance a case may be brought against me as the landlord for tenant property damage from a malfunctioning sump pump. He made me aware of the rights of the landlord and the tenants and also what I need to do/look for as the landlo...rd to ensure I have the proper documents and verbiage in place. Thank you Mr. Probstein.

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.
