Excellent service

Michael C. Addison was so helpful and well-informed when he handled a real state dispute for me a few years ago. He was always very professional to work with and made himself readily available when I had questions. Mr Addison is currently handling another matter for me and I will certainly continue ...to work with him in the future.

Attorney Addison Review

Attorney Addison was hired in a civil case. He is a knowledgeable attorney and very professional. He is well versed in Florida law. My only complaint is that Attorney Addison was not as aggressive as I would have wished in negotiations.

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.
