Posted by Barrie | November 04, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Real Estate

Factual, Honest & Responsive

We hired Brad to represent us in a civil suit related to real estate we owned in Southaven, MS. Brad was very factual and up-front honest about the potential hazards we might face if the case were to go to litigation. We appreciate his honesty and thoroughness, as well as how he negotiated on our ...behalf with the other party's attorney to reach a settlement. We would recommend Brad's services to anyone with any need in which he specializes.

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.
