"It is truly a privilege to endorse Will in the areas of Personal Injury and Workers Compensation. When we worked together, Will exhibited a high level of intelligence, drive, and ability.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"We are very excited to have Will join the Joye Law Firm team. During the hiring process, I spoke with several of his former employers and they all stressed what an asset he had been to their firm or company. The lawyer he clerked for previously told me that he would hire Will in a split second if he had the need for another associate attorney. Since Will has joined our firm, I have been impressed by his work ethic and the empathy he has for our clients. Caring for others is something that has to come naturally and I think it's perhaps the most important trait that a good trial lawyer needs to possess. Will has a very bright future ahead of him."

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.
