The BEST

I hired Mr Van Cleave to represent my business when a large insurance company refused to provide coverage for a claim under our Comercial General Liability Policy. The insurance company had denied my company's claim , and insisted there was no coverage. Mr. Van Cleave reviewed the insurance policy an...d the insurance company's letter denying our claim and quickly determined that the insurance company should have covered our claim. He filed suit against the insurance company for bad faith breach of contract. Mr. Van Cleave quickly brought the insurance company to its knees, and obtained a settlement for considerably more money than the amount of the claim.

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.
