Awesome experience!

This was not a long process and they explain every step in detail. I love the service they provided. Also let me not lea...ve out Mr. Gormley’s humor that would keep a smile on my face and Ms. Dana was such a sweat heart with her sincere patience. If you ever need David Gormley service do not hesitate to call him.

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.
