Immediate and thorough response

I called Mr Fitzgerald with a very general question because I didn't know what I had as a case, if I had a case. Mr. Fitzgerald took the time to listen to me, then asked me questions for more detail, then answered my initial question AND taught me not only why I had a case, but HOW it would have to b...e framed and would most likely play out. He was so so patient and thorough, I felt completely understood and had so much more info from a simple phone call than I got from 3 other lawyers who charged for the initial discussion! Thank you, Mr. Fitzgerald! I'm gathering my documentation and will definitely be hiring this one!

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.
