Excellent Lawyer

My case is ongoing and so far Mr. Cline has been very responsive and sympathetic to my situation. He is knowledgeable, caring and also has a wonderful team that supports his efforts. I feel like I am being represented by the best and look forward to the successful resolution of my Da Vinci Robotics l...iability and Malpractice case.

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.
