This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent attorney, represented my child in medical malpractice

Great and wonderful service. They were there when we needed them. Challenge was big but me and my daughter made it through with their help. My baby was hurt at birth in her arm from medical malpractice. Nobody else would take this case. I could not have asked for a better law firm. If someone asked m...e for a recommendation for a lawyer they would be my number one choice.

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.
