Sticks with your case without asking for more $$$

Michael is a great lawyer and great advisor. Our case was a bit unusual since we have an LLC and our personal stuff so it dragged on for 7 months but Michael stuck with it, kept us informed every step of the way and never asked for any additional payments beyond what was agreed to up front.

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.
