Michael, our experience was even better than we could have imagined. Your professional competence and personal concern are well known to us but thank you for taking time to explain each step and paragraph of our trust and also the help with the business questions. Getting to see your two wonderful ...and maturing children again after a few years away put our visit to your office way off the charts in our book. Thank you for your skill and care. Gene & Threse

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.
