Wonderful Workers' Compensation defense attorney

George is a great attorney. We have used him on a few files and he has been very good. George is very knowledgeable and knows his stuff. If you haven't used his firm I would certainly give them a try.

Great attorney! Recommend for WC!

He came recommended and I am so glad I gave him a chance. One of the best, if not the best work comp attorney I've dealt with. I will continue to refer cases to him!

Great attorney

I can't say enough good things about this attorney. Someone recommended I try him out on a case and I'm glad I did. He kept me updated on everything and did only what was necessary to resolve the claim. I will use this attorney for many more cases.

George is an outstanding attorney who is highly recommended

George is an outstanding attorney. He is very responsive and aggresive in handling his cases. He is truly professional, gives great attention as if you are the only client he has, and passionate about what he does. I deal with attorneys on a regular basis and George is by my far favorite attorney ...because of his exceptional service. I would recommend George to anyone!

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.
