Great Service!

A friend of mine recommended DAVID WOLFE LEOPOLD & ASSOCIATES CO to me. I was not disappointed. I was getting nowhere with my ‘case’ with the authorities and after discussion with David he took me as a client. He gave me great advise and he knew exactly what to do. Once he ‘filed’ my case, he dil...igently followed up with both the authorities and myself for a period of 13 months. His perseverance and due diligence proved worthy and my case was won.

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.
