This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Extremely knowledgeable and compassionate

As we set about the task of starting our nonprofit, Mr. Foster skillfully guided us through all the state and federal red tape. His wisdom and easy table side way have positioned us for success.

Posted by Heather | January 16, 2015

Very trustworthy and hard working

I worked with Mr. Foster in the area of business law with some individuals completing an Asset Purchase Agreement for a business I was dissolving. I felt Mr. Foster was trustworthy and authentic. Communication felt very genuine and I felt he was looking out for everyone's best interests and not jus...t rolling through things with another "customer". He took the time to ask questions and get a thorough understanding of our needs in the contract we were putting together. I worked with another firm in town that definitely made it clear I was just another check in their bank account. I got the feeling from Mr. Foster that he was sincere in his passion for the practice of law and he was good at what he does. I highly recommend this lawyer.

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.
