DOUGLAS MUIR, CEO

I was recommended to Michael Freed from another attorney in Jacksonville Florida. I am going through a tough and complicated litigation processes with my partner in a NYC company I own. Michael has a very easy way about him and has the canning ability to sift through the complicated matters. His resp...onse rate is one I have never experienced in all my years with attorneys. He has answered all my questions within hours! This is defiantly something you do not get from attorneys.The best part about Michael is that he is always keeping cost in mind. I like to say, Michael is a business man who practices law and litigation very well. He is an entrepreneur’s best friend.

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.
