Unbelievably Good

I can't begin to describe how thankful I am that I met Jake Mihalov. I honestly didn't believe that "good" criminal defense attorneys existed in our area but here I am, dumbfounded by how good he is. Jake not only got to work right away, but he was professional and sympathetic about the case. I felt ...immediately as if I could talk to Mr. Mihalov in a casual way which helped me relay details about my friend's case with ease. Jake understood, got to work immediately, and focused on getting us the best result possible. If you're looking for a criminal defense attorney in or around Washington Pennsylvania-- look no further than Mihalov. You won't regret it.

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.
