Excellent Attorney

I have referred friends, co-workers, and family members to Mr. Sawyer for consultation and advice over the last thirty years. After speaking to him, every person I have referred has hired him for their legal situation, be it bankruptcty, adoption, real estate, divorce, business formation, or a simpl...e Will or Trust. He provides excellent advice with thorough and easily understandable directions on what needs to be done, in what order and when. His fees are reasonable and he extends himself to early hours to accommodate client schedules. I have also worked with him and for him on many matters and would heartily recommend him as an attorney for anyone in need of his expertise.

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.
