This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Unprofessional in my personal opinion

Not my lawyer but called me from his personal phone to speak so loudly to me it was hard to make out what he said, but he threaten me with a cease and desist over the phone. Needs to be filed legally through the court and not by yelling over the phone. Call was recorded only pushed consulted cause si...te made me. Never heard I’d Mr Covert till he contacted me on at 3:23 pm may 29

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.
