Sam Mecum Review

Attorney Mecum works with the client to explain the process. He is open, knowledgeable, firm but not aggressive. Staff was sometimes a little too quick to bill for details. Example: For phone calls regarding timing and logistics and not legal matters. Overall very satisfied with the work done.

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.
