Highly recommend Neil Covert Law Office

The Covert Team came highly recommended. From start to finish, they were professional and responsive. Being a continent and 3 time zones apart should have been challenging, but it wasn't an issue. They never made me feel like I was asking a silly question or taking too much of their time. Chris a...lways made it clear that I could call any time and ask any question or ask for clarification. Probate closed as scheduled, and the entire process was painless, thanks to their expertise. I also highly recommend Neil and his staff!

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.
