Very effective

Ira is a very conscientious, detail-oriented attorney. He will thoroughly review the report of your case for inconsistencies and possible leniencies. Although I was very upset to be in a situation where I needed a lawyer, I was fortunate that I chose him as my lawyer. The situation was resolved relat...ively quickly. Unfortunately, like many quality services, it was expensive. He also seems to have many connections in the courthouse – that always helps. The ‘justice system’ is definitely not just or even a vaguely fair system. I’m glad I chose him.

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.
