This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent service

Mr. Olson assisted in the preparation, review and filing of all documents I needed to start my own business. He listened to all of my concerns and explained (in terms I could easily understand) all of the legal steps I would need to take to protect myself and my business. His firm's attention to det...ail is above and beyond what I have ever experienced in the past. Highly recommended!

I have previously worked with him on an employee benefits matter and was very impressed with his abilities and understanding of a very intricate area of the law. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking counsel in this area."

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.
