Excellent service

Went above and beyond what I expected. Even followed up afterwards to check on my emotional status.

Very good attorney

Could not ask someone with more profesionalism and knowledge.

Posted by Brian | February 19, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Ticket from an accident

I hired JJ to represent me for a too fast for conditions citation I received from a traffic accident. He was able to appear on my behalf and have the citation dismissed. His professionalism surely paid off!

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.
