Thank you and Thank you!!!!

Thank you Mr.Kafka! I am so thankful for Mr.Kafkas diligent work on my case. He informed me about the process of my case very thoroughly, so I knew what to expect and not to expect, as well as possible outcomes of the case and then worked very hard to get the best outcome and that is exactly what he ...did. He was always available to speak to me, was very transparent, and did exactly what he said he would do. Again thank you so much!!!

Shimon Kafka handled my criminal case precisely and thoroughly. He made sure I understood every aspect of my case and worked with me through the ups and downs of the court system. Shimon ultimately got me a not guilty verdict in a case i was facing up to 10 years for! I would highly recommend this at...torney for a criminal case. I cant thank him enough!

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.
