My Lawyer

Andrew worked at a different law firm and moved to another when my sister and I first applied for help. When he moved, we moved with him. Andrew and his partner took our case and ran with it. He was very personable and always available. This was not an easy case, but he along with his partner won... it. He focused on the facts and presented them brilliantly. He showed that he really cared and pulled no stops until the verdict came... in our favor. I recommend him highly.

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.
