The Best I've Ever Retained

Quality attorneys are hard to find. They are a costly dime and many are more incompetent and make you wonder how they ever passed the bar exam. I speak from experience in having to file a suit for malpractice against an incompetent attorney in State College PA. I am very, very thankful to have fou...nd George Michak. He is the most astute and thorough attorney who doesn't miss a thing that I've ever retained. He has an extensive knowledge of the law and case law which makes his work on any of our cases much more efficient than other attorneys who you end up having to pay to become educated on the law while handling your case. I appreciate George and though I want to keep him retained for just myself individually and the company, I know he will provide the same outstanding quality representation that he has for you as he has and continues to do for my family, myself and company.

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.
