Jesse changed my opinion about lawyers

I never really trusted lawyers or ever wanted to be in the position to have to trust one. However, I have to admit that Jesse changed my opinion of the legal profession and opened my eyes to what a real lawyer is all about. Keep doing what your doing Jesse, thanks for being my lawyer.

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.
