Great Lawyer

Mr. Otway did a terrific job with my case against a certain insurance company who dragged my case on for over 3 years . The whole time he made me feel at ease , giving me the feeling like, let him worry and not me . All I can say if you want a lawyer that will fight for you outside or inside a court ...room this is the lawyer for you. Thanks Mr. Otway

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.
