Outstanding quality of work, very helpful to clients

Mr. Hearn was called upon to represent me on a number of occasions. Every time he was very gracious, the cost was reasonable and I felt that a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders when he agreed to represent me. He is courteous and gets back to you immediately. He has a very good record winn...ing traffic cases (which has been my experience). I would highly recommend hiring Mr. Hearn, you will not regret it!!

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.
