great human being, highly informed lawyer

we were sued for stopping a vendor services in Tampa, and being from Miami, first we hired a lawyer off the yellow pages who overcharged his worked hours, beside we noticed that the other party who was unfairly asking $6,000 contract cancellation, started to aske for $20,000, beside lawyer fees, A fr...iend advised us to contact Griffin, and substitute our first lawyer, Griffin persuaded the truth with my partners, and spent over 8 hours, before taking the case, or accepting any consultation, and as we hired him, we realized the big hole that the first lawyer put us in, Mr Klema, not only offered discounts of his hours, based on his belief that the first lawyer cheated the work hours, but in less than two weeks, the other aggressive party became on the defense, many mistakes made by our first lawyer as well as by the adversary lawyer, became obvious. The language, efforts and honesty used by Griffin, can not be made by an average lawyer. Asking for honesty these days is a priority, but with getting highest level of knowledge, I recommend this great professional

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.
