Dependable Attorney

As an elderly woman, I knew that it was time for me to create a will and power of attorney, but I was uncertain about the process. Attorney O’Connor and his staff walked me through the process step by step. They answered every question I had and also informed me of inheritance laws and different op...tions regarding my will and poa. I am comforted at the fact that my affairs are in order and I am confident that in future my wishes will be met.

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.
