Excellent!

We loved the treatment we received and the successful outcome of our case. Highly recommend Mr. Varga and Varga Law! Thank you so much for your help.

Posted by D.L. | April 25, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Great Counsel, Stellar Communication!

Bob and Christine expertly navigated my case from beginning to end! I felt confident and at ease from the initial consultation all the way to courtroom. They were always one step ahead and available to answer my many questions. All calls/e-mails were returned promptly and I never felt like a detail s...lipped through the cracks- a true feat since I'm sure they juggle dozens of cases at a time. I can't thank them enough for being the silver lining in a bad situation.

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.
