This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Have known this attorney for almost 35 years.

Ethical, honest and dignified- but nevertheless on the cutting edge as a creative and effective advocate. Atty. Cahoon is a good person and a great lawyer.

"Mr. Cahoon is an exceptional attorney. Although I have been practicing law for 24 years as a judge, magistrate, law professor, prosecutor, and private attorney, I learn from his responses on Avvo every time that he posts. If I needed an attorney, I would hire him. I recommend him with no reservation. It would be the best investment of your life to hire him to represent you."

"My admiration for Attorney Cahoon is immense. He is one of the few attorneys associated with a large firm who can fight like like a solo or small firm practitioner. To say that he is among the best, really does not give him enough credit."

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.
