Coming from a family of lawyers and after working as a paralegal in south florida for over 20 years, I personally can grade only one other lawyer aside from Matthew Staab, as "EXCELLENT". He is a superb advocate; hs messages are returned promptly and always with the utmost courtesy, consideration an...d respect. His impeccable knowledge of the law, high standard of ethics, fairness and honestly are to be commended.

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.
