Rare combination of intelligence and honesty

Mr. Santos is a highly experienced international trade lawyer. He served in key government positions for about ten years during which time he established a reputation for brilliance, balance and decency. In private practice, I found him to be the best couselor I ever had- honest and straighforward, w...ith a wealth of knowledge to back it up. If we had more lawyers like him, the profession would look very different.

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.
