Go elsewhere for proper defense

I was referred to this attorney through a legal plan, and unfortunately, it was a very frustrating experience. He told me he would file with the court to show I was not the owner of the business and shouldn’t have been personally sued—he never followed through. Instead of advocating for me, he allowe...d the opposing attorney to control the situation and took little to no meaningful action on my behalf. He also did not pursue a countersuit for $10,000 in damages to my car, despite discussing it. I would not recommend him if you’re looking for someone to actually defend your case.

Good attorney on several issues with my business ventures

I have used Jan on several business ventures. He has kept me informed of gas drilling on my land. I have recommended him to several people since he has knowledge of many law issues. Next he will handle my car accident which happened recently.

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.
