Review of Ray Driver by Dave Leininger of Administar Services Group

The firm of Driver, McAfee, Griggs and Peek was highly recommended to me by our company's outside law firm as one of the premier M&A/transaction firms in north Florida. The firm, and specifically Ray Driver, provided outstanding service to our company and to me personally on 2 separate transactions.... The issues were complex, including many tax concerns, and the opposing lawyers were members of large, seasoned national law firms. I felt that Ray was every bit an equal to these lawyers.

Outstanding and responsive

Ray is an excellent attorney and has been very responsive to our company's needs. If he is unavailable he makes sure that someone is. I highly recommend him and his firm.

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.
