Review for J. Semko

I don't have enough words to describe how pleasant my experience with this firm was. They work very hard to make sure you have winning results. I could not have asked for better services. From the moment I first called until my case was over, I was at ease that I has made the right choice. He is ext...remely knowledgeable and professional. He calmed my fears, took copious notes, talked me through everything, followed up on all proceedings and was very thorough in his guidance and in his protection of me throughout this case. He is an excellent attorney, kind, understanding, always returning a call when contacted. His staff is equally qualified and available to answer any questions. I have given his name to many friends and associates as the best estate attorney in the area and will continue to do so. I highly recommend Mr. Jeff Semko as the finest attorney in the area and perhaps in the state.

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 09

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have had the pleasure of working extensively with Jeff both in and out of the courtroom. Among the scores of attorneys I have met and worked with, Jeff stands out as one of the most intelligent, attentive, and effective advocates. While most of his qualities can be ascribed to his innate intelligence, diligence, and conscientiousness, his most favorable traits—in my judgment—come from his heart. He is likely the most kindhearted, most beneficent, most honorable individual one will ever meet. These attributes make Jeff an excellent advocate, an exceptional attorney, and an extraordinary human being."

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.
