Top notch, outstanding!

Robert was kind, considerate, and did excellent work on my case. I felt valued, appreciated, and he showed respect for my time and financial situation. He worked to get an adequate resolution to my case and I am so thankful to have had his assistance in a time when I needed it most. He is knowledgeab...le and extremely competent.

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.
