Recommend highly

Mr Hicks is a calm, sensible, and intelligent person as well as a calculated attorney. He stays focused on his cases and keeps lines of communication open to the best of his ability. His compassion for people and their individual needs is what really causes me to recommend him. During trials he is re...spectful yet concise. Like the old saying goes-The most intelligent man in the room is the one who speaks last. This is Mister Hicks. Highly recommend. It's been a pleasure ( as much as it can be) during this process.

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.
