Ms Fromm

Jay & his colleagues were extremely professional in my case. His experience, expert knowledge & calming nature definitely contributed to our success. There is also a unique family atmosphere at Haggery, Haggerty & Machmeyer which im sure is extremely uncommon in law firms. This family unity approac...h was so comforting in my stressful situation & the supportive nature definitely helped. I now count Jay & his staff as friends & definitely recommend his services.

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.
