Can't say enough good things

Irv and the team made sure that we were well taken care of from the moment we met. Not only was it evident that he was concerned for our case, it was more important that my health and well-being were improved as much as possible. He put me in touch with doctors that assessed and improved my care, and... with experts who helped me better understand the long term effects of my new conditions. Fantastic and kind, they truly set our minds at ease.

Awesome

Irv and his team really assisted me with my personal injury case. They were very knowledgeable and determined to get me the best possible outcome. I would recommend Irv and his team to anyone looking for assistance with their personal injury case.

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.
