Highly recommended

If you or anyone you know are seeking attorneys that will actually care about your family and have your best interest at heart you’ve found them! Mike along with his staff continually communicated with us explaining every step and what to expect next. They never made us feel like a burden when we cal...led with questions. They understood this was emotional for us. They were able to reach a settlement that changed our lives after a medical malpractice left my spouse bedbound and with brain damage.

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.
