Relationship: Co-worker

"Stephen's family is on the east coast. Mine is on the west coast. Fate brought us together in Mississippi of all places, as we both moved down to Biloxi in the aftermath of the BP Oil Disaster to work at the Mississippi Center for Justice and help spill victims get interim relief from BP. Over two years, I witnessed Stephen guide clients through a tedious and frustrating claims process and successfully winning significant amounts of money for them. He's a hard worker, a strong advocate, and a man of virtue. I'm glad to count him as a friend."

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.
