Posted by Pete | August 31, 2014 | Personal Injury

A dedicated and sincere attorney who will do whatever is necessary for his client's well-being.

Following a vehicle collision between my teenaged daughter's school bus and a semi tractor trailer that resulted in the death of one of her friends, My wife and I found ourselves in need of an attorney to navigate all the ramifications of that event. From day one, Mr. Wingo and his staff made our dau...ghter's well being and recovery from this event their number one priority. Every step of the way, he explained exactly what was going on and made sure that we were all comfortable with any decision prior to proceeding. I never once felt pressured to do anything that I was uncomfortable with. He never once strayed from doing whatever was in our daughter's best interest. To that end, Mr. Wingo and his staff went over and above to involve my daughter in the process to the extent possible to aid in her coming to terms with what happened and to help empower her with the confidence that she can effect change in her world. In the final wind up, thanks to Mr. Wingo's efforts, my daughter was able to emerge from this unfortunate tragedy and define it in her terms, rather than it defining her life. I can not thank Mr. Wingo and his staff enough for that.

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.
