Outstanding

Mr. Kavanagh provided outstanding service in the sale of my company. He is also efficiently helping me to start up a new corporation. His service has been expedient and he's been most enjoyable to work with. I would strongly recommend him to anyone. As an extremely knowledgeable and helpful lawyer, ...he will definitely be my first choice in any future endeavors requiring legal services.

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.
