Fully responsive to our needs

We had a quick reaction need for Temporary Guardianship for my mother and Caleb met with us on the same day to discuss the situation and begin the paperwork. He kept us informed throughout the process and has been available and knowledgeable about all questions we have asked regarding elderly care, ...liabilities, provision for the future, and has filled in where we didn't know the question to ask. Caleb has been an excellent resource and assistance to us, and comes with my highest recommendation.

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.
