He was professional

Mr Forbes handled it like a real law office professional he was everything anyone could ask for to help in a ssdi case. Thank you

Posted by Cathy | September 14, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Social Security Disability

He believed in my case and he worked to win for me.

Social Security turned me down and set a hearing date before I hired Rod Forbes. I knew I needed help. An Attorney my husband and I had used for our wills recommended Rod. My first hearing was another decline. Rod believed in my case so he filed suit in Federal Court.The Court ruled in my favor and o...rdered a new hearing. I wanted an Attorney that believed in my case and would WORK my case. I have no reservations about recommending Rod Forbes to my family and friends.

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.
