"Blair is the most thorough and effective immigration attorney I know. We started practicing immigration law together, so I know his work well. We now have separate law practices in different states. Blair is hard working, extremely knowledgeable and capable and effective in all areas of immigration law. If I every needed an immigration attorney, I would turn to Blair. I unreservedly recommend him as Georgia's preeminent immigration attorney."

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.
