Competent Lawyer with high regard for client

I was seeking a lawyer that could help me on an environmental issue. I googled for Lawyers in the Columbia SC area and came across the Shissias lay firm. Let me say that I was glad that google directed me to Alex. At our first meeting I was very impressed in how Alex approached our problem. He co...mpartmentalized how we would work through the existing issues and had great knowledge of the environmental community for the state of South Carolina. If your looking for an attorney that will talk to you and not at you, then Alex is your man. Alex is extremely competent and smart. i would recommend him to any of my friends, colleges or family.

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.
