I wouldn't recommend

I also experienced Mr. Velander never challenging the prosecution, unless prompted by myself. He also was repeatedly a bit sweaty, on cold Pennsylvania mornings. As if he repeatedly had late nights before representing me.

Not Prepared

Went to court with this attorney and he seemed un-prepared, and kept stumbling over his words. Told him important information about the case, and he forgot to mention it at court. Had to make a switch, and leave this one. Did not appear to have my best interest in mind, and after each court hearing, ...we walked out with our tails between our legs. Even the judge had to call him on something, that he should have already known. I would not recommend.

Wonderful and experienced

I hired Attorney Velander to handle my son's criminal matter. At the time, I did not know much about the legal system. He took the time to explain the process and his staff was with me every step of the way. The office always returned my calls very promptly and was handled in a timely fashion. I wou...ld recommend his office to anyone I know.

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.

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.
