Great to work with

I've reached out to Forest a couple times for help answering various business and contract law questions related to my property tax consulting business. He's been great to work with. He's very thorough. And he explains things in a way that's easy to understand.

Business advice session

My experience with AvvoAdvisor was great! The attorney (Forest Hamilton) called me promptly and was very helpful in reviewing a document.

Excellent Assistance

I received a cease & desist for an internet post. Mr. Hamilton took the time to review our questions in great detail. Explaining in layman's terms so I could understand each item. If he were in my area and licensed to practice here, the first Attorney I would call is Bryan Hamilton. Than...k You.

Great Attorney!

I was referred to Forest through a business partner who spoke very highly of him. I can definitely say that he exceeded my expectations. Very knowledgable and good at what he does. Forest not only educated me on everything but also explained it to where an average person like myself could unders...tand. Great integrity! Which is huge for me. I always felt confident that he was looking out for me. I would definitely recommend his services!

B. Forest Hamilton

I was introduced to Forest by a close friend and was quickly aware by his demeanor and soft-spoken carry that he was thoughtful and highly intelligent. That meeting was eight years ago and as opportunity and business needs have surfaced I have found Forest to be a profound and trusted resource. He ha...s a broad base of experience relative to business, domestic, and securities issues which addresses 90% of my legal concerns. In this regard I am comfortable that Forest will remain my first choice regarding legal consult and has been my recommendation to others over the years that have asked for direction in seeking legal insight for their personal and business affairs.

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.
