Highly Recommend

Mr. Bedell is an honest, knowledgeable professional that was great to work with ... always accessible and responsive, understanding of my situation and how to best represent my interests, and dedicated to efficiently and quickly achieving the best possible outcome that was aligned with my goal/s. I ...will never be able to thank him enough.

Highly Recomended

Mr. Bedell was great to work with. I will never be able to thank him enough. There are many great lawyers in the state but Mr. Bedell rates nulli secundus (second to none) I feel that he is the premier candidate for representation because of his prior service & experience working with the state and ...his extensive wisdom & knowledge of law. Again, Thank you Mr. Bedell.

Criminal Defense Attorney

I strongly recommend the services of George Bedell. Mr. Bedell is knowledgeable and responsive while demonstrating a relentless desire to understand your case and retain each and every fact. I was motivated to his services by recommendation and background investigation which revealed he was a Sta...te Prosecutor in Hillsborough County, Florida for 26 years. Without question, he knows the legal system.

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.
