Great lawyer - Reponsive & Knowlegeable - Kept me informed

Our experience with Mr. Smolarek was outstanding. My father had been ill and he came to our house and drafted his Will. When my father later died Mr. Smolarek handled his estate and made the probate process so easy for our family. He answered every question and his staff was exceptional. Since his ...office also does real estate, it was convenient that he could handle the house closing when we sold our father's house. His personal attention to detail made it a pleasure to work with him.

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.
