Responsive and caring

I had the opportunity to work with Jay Pelkofer on a matter involving county government that lasted for more than a year. During that time, dealing with the government was often frustrating for me. Jay remained patient and professional. Throughout the ordeal, the county would go silent for weeks or e...ven months. When they finally came back, Jay was quickly up to speed and, overall, was quite responsive to requests from me or the county. But most importantly, I was impressed by how much Jay cared about my case. He listened to my perspective. While he tried to keep me realistic, I sensed how much he cared about me and the outcome of my case. I recommend you consider Jay for your legal needs.

Highly recommend

I worked with Jay for a landlord-tenant issue and he did an excellent job. Highly recommend him. I called around and his rates plus response time were the best. Being my first lawsuit, I was nervous about the process but he sat down with me, asked me the right questions, and focused the issue to ...present it to court. At court, the plaintiff was aggressive and lied about many things, and I wanted to respond, but Jay calmly told me most stuff doesn’t matter, and he was right. He was able to focus testimony and questions to exactly what the judge wanted to know. If I have a future issue, I will definitely hire him again.

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.
