The man with the plan

Jim Robertson has been a very professional, and knowledgeable attorney. He has kept my brother and me informed on all the legal requirements necessary for the court of probate and has advised us on the best action to take concerning our mother who is incapacitated in the nursing facility.My brother a...nd I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. As a matter of fact we already have recommended him to people who would need his services in the near future

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.
