great experience, estate settlement matter

Jim helped with an estate issue that had been dragging on for years and already had signed agreement. He was able to get the agreement put aside and reach a better settlement. Jim and his office worked diligently to gather information and numbers to build a case. They are very responsive to queri...es and meeting at convenient times. I am thankful to have called Mr. Creenan. I highly recommend.

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.
