Wonderful experience

We were hesitant in contacting anyone for legal advice following my teenage daughter's automobile accident, but Len came highly recommended. He and his team exceeded our expectations. He was a true professional every step of the way. More importantly, he was also very compassionate, listening to our ...needs and showing true concern for our daughter's injury and recovery. He was trustworthy, efficient, and showed attention to every detail. Our family could not have been more pleased with our experience and the outcome for our daughter. We are truly grateful for such a wonderful team - Len, Jordan, and Val were all incredible - we cannot say enough and highly recommend them!

Proficient and professional

Three years ago I was involved in an automobile accident. After no satisfaction from the insurance company, I was referred to Mr. Heath by a friend. From our first meeting to final settlement, Mr. Heath and his staff were not only exceptionally professional, but caring and friendly. I would highly re...commend Mr. Heath and his firm to anyone in need.

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.
