Outstanding Attorney

After three years of litigation we reached a settlement involving a case for damages from a flood in our home. The language of the settlement agreement was fraught with issues and potential liability and my wife and I did not feel comfortable signing it. We were trying to negotiate changes to the... agreement when our attorney abruptly withdrew from the case leaving us in an untenable position where we were being compelled to sign the agreement. We contacted Joe Creed, of Bramnick Creed, LLC, and retained his services to help us revise, and negotiate the settlement agreement. Mr. Creed was knowledgeable and extremely helpful in providing advice regarding changes to the agreement. With his assistance we were able to negotiate with the defendants and revise the language and terms of the agreement that protected us from future litigation. Mr. Creed accommodated our timeline and was generous with his time and advice. Joe Creed’s years of experience and willingness to help us out of a difficult situation are greatly appreciated and we would highly recommend his services.

Excellent

Mr. Creed represented me against the federal agency in which I’m employed. His expertise and confidence made such a difference in getting a truly outstanding settlement, one even better than I anticipated. As an attorney myself, I was so proud to have him represent me. I felt very involved in all asp...ects of the process. Having litigated cases and representing clients myself, I never understood how emotionally trying this process could be. Mr. Creed was very sensitive to this aspect of my case. His professionalism is truly admirable and there’s no one I would’ve rather have represent me.

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.
