Excellent Attorney

Alex and his firm represented us in an insurance claim when we lost our house to Hurricane Irma. He was responsive, professional, and hard working. It was a difficult case because we had just started s renovation when the hurricane hit. He was agressive in protecting our rights and pursuing the best ...settlement possible.

Personal injury lawyer | Aug 10

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Alex and I worked together on a very complicated product defect case in the automotive industry arena. It involved multiple deaths and catastrophic injuries. The legal issues involved design, manufacture, and structural integrity of the vehicle, which was manufactured as part of a two-stage process. These cases are very complex and difficult and the other side will spend whatever it takes to defend them. The lawyers defending these cases are typically very experienced and competent. The experts you encounter, namely sophisticated engineers, have been involved in these cases for many years and are professional witnesses. In our case, we even had an astrophysicist. They are formidable opponents. Alex is fearless. He will not be intimidated and is committed on behalf of his clients to achieving the best possible result despite the difficulty of the task. I wholeheartedly endorse him. And, I'm proud to have him as a 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.
