He really knows the law

My family hired Mr. Zell for my cousin's habeas corpus. On the first phone call, we learned more about the law than his last 3 lawyers combined. He told us he could not tell us about my cousins case because he had not reviewed it. Other lawyers told us my cousin had a great case and after Mr. Zell to...ld us that, we thought those others were just trying to get our money by telling us what we wanted to hear.

This attorney is very busy but he seemed to know the law and how the system worked. I felt like he totally understood the case.

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.
