Overall rating for Mr. Sinclaire, III

Mr. Sinclaire worked with my family in 2014. He explained the step-by-step actions we would take and remained extremely supportive of our situation. He was very personable and informative. He responded quickly to our phone calls and questions. It was a pleasure working with him and I highly recom...mend his services.

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.
