This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Great guy but expensive

My only problem was that is too expensive for someone who lost her job around Christmas time and has been struggling ever since.

Very knowledgeable attorney

I have had the pleasure to work with attorney Calvin Blackburn in various capacities. Over the years he has been one of the most trustworthy, competent and knowledgeable attorneys I know. I have referred several complex cases to Calvin which he has routinely provided excellent legal advice. I would ...trust Calvin with my personal legal representation if need be.

Great Lawyer

He took my EEOC case and I got my compensation on the first day of mediation. More that I was expecting. I will highly recommend his services to anyone that is looking for a great trustworthy lawyer.

Superior performance and commitment to altruism

Attorney Blackburn, III provided superior service when he handled my case last year. He ensured that I understood the purpose of every strategy that he utilized. He provided timely responses to my questions and was forthright and effective in reaching a resolution.

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.
