Excellent Lawyer

We have a great sense of gratitude and appreciation towards Mr. Rivera. Not only he did such a great professional job for us, but also he cared about our case giving his very best efforts to succeed. Mr. Rivera proved to be extremely knowledgeable and wise. While receiving great advice and expert...ise, we also noticed his interest in keeping honesty and ethical values at the core. Before we committed to hire him, he made an honest assessment and a serious consideration of our case, providing important information to help us assess our case. We realized that he knew exactly what to do and, in the process, he was able to provide us with a sense of confidence, strength and hope. I enjoyed very much working with Mr. Rivera and we like to highly recommend him as an attorney.

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.
