Posted by anonymous | March 29, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

Devoted, honest, respectful, and an absolute expert in his field.

Over the years, Mr. Wolfson has consulted me on a labyrinth of legal issues, ranging from healthcare to employment law, and he has represented me on multiple occasions. When you call, he will always be the one who answers the phone.

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.
