This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Sales

His firm has helped me with real estate closings, some traffic violations, and legal advice. They told me exactly what to expect, I never had to worry about it, and I knew it was taken care of. I never have had a major legal issue and hopefully never will. However, if I need them I have extreme co...nfidence in their ability and they will fight for what is fair and get it done.

Workers' Comp case

I fell off a ladder at work and injured my shoulder and back. The insurance company sent me for physical therapy and wanted me to go back to work. I hired Lowell, he got me to a top-notch neurosurgeon and an MRI showed two herniated discs. I eventually had surgery. After I recovered and was released ...by my doctor, I was awarded the largest amount possible for my injury and the ins company is on the hook for my future medical costs. Lowell's paralegal and other assistants were wonderful throughout. Everyone there treated me like family. Highly recommend.

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.
