Heard My Case - Thank you, Mr. Nawara!!!

I called Mr. Nawara for a consultation on my case--he immediately picked up the phone. I appreciated the fact that he took the time to share with me what to expect given my situation, how the local authorities would respond given recent actions, and necessary next steps I should take. Mr. Nawara poin...ted me in the right direction so that I got the appropriate support and help. Thank you!!!

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.
