Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I had the pleasure of being one of Mr. Lentine's adjunct students for a week back in 2012. Let's just say he does not accept mediocrity when it comes to being prepared for court. Not only was he passionate about his own real live cases that I had the pleasure of viewing, he brought the same tenacity to our classroom."

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.
