Professional, Helpful, and Easy to Work With. Highly Recommended.

Mr. Avery helped me reach a fair settlement with the car insurance company of a person who rear-ended me while I was stopped at a red light. Before working with Mr. Avery, I spent six months unsuccessfully trying to get a fair settlement on my own. After he engaged, we had a settlement in a matter of... weeks. Thank you, Mr. Avery.

Very Helpful

Mr. Avery represented by son on a fender bender. He was very helpful and clear of what to expect throughout the entire process.

I am very great full for Mr. Avery

Mr. Avery was the most professional respectful lawyer you could imagine. I never once was unsure or uninformed of what was going on. I highly recommend Mr. Avery if you’re in need of an attorney.

Clear and Easy.

Mr. Avery was very easy to work with. I am not super familiar with lawyers and court rooms but Mr. Avery provided me with easy to understand answers to all the questions I had about my moms case. She was involved in a pretty bad accidentamd the case took a while to close but Mr. Avery was there to as...sure me the whole way.

Experience

Rating:  3.6 (Caution)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2018.

Suspension issued in DC, 2018

updated on 07/27/2022

Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Censured issued in DC, 2007

updated on 03/13/2018

Censured means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State censures the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Michael’s comment:

“I was retained by a gentleman who allegedly fell from a gurney in a Maryland hospital. After the collection of this gentleman's medical records and bills efforts were made to resolve the claim through negotiated settlement. Those efforts failed and as I was not a licensed Maryland attorney, a request was made of a professional friend to file a lawsuit in Maryland state court. He agreed to do so but did not. As a former Marine I took sole responsibility.”
