Misha Williams

I couldn’t be more grateful for the outstanding work Max did on my case. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to getting the best possible outcome. Thanks to his expertise and persistence, my case was dismissed. A huge relief! I highly recommend him to an...yone in need of a reliable and skilled attorney. You’ll be in good hands.

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.
