Very personable and honest lawyer!

Mr. Magadia is a lawyer who goes out of his way to do a great job for his client! He is very patient and makes you feel comfortable. I believe that he maintains a low client base in exchange for quality service. In the end, I was granted US citizenship - after waiting over ten years and several la...wyers along the way. I hired Mr. Magadia again to help me in petitioning the rest of my family to come to the US from the Philippines.

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.
