Effective and knowledgeable

Andrew provided me a time and cost-effective strategy to resolve a tech/business related issue. My goals were to protect my professional reputation and ensure information about me online was correct. He helped me achieve these goals, while putting the situation into perspective, which put me at eas...e (a skill only a few great attorneys possess). He would be my go-to expert in legal questions that involve technology and business matters.

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.
