A Dynamic and Forward Thinking Attorney

Woody is an excellent attorney. He is prompt and on the task as soon as you contact him. He has insider information on how to win different aspects of your case and will work tirelessly until he accomplishes his goal of getting his client more than they could have imagined. I was pleasantly surprised... at Woody's knowledge about the law as well as his willingness to work with me financially. I recommend Woody to anyone that is looking for an attorney that is going to go above and beyond their standards on the outcome of their case.

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.
