Posted by Diane | October 30, 2013 | Criminal Defense

Excellent law firm and lawyers. I'm very satisfied with a great result to my case!

I was charged with a felony while visiting relatives in Michigan. I hired Loren Dickstein, Randy Lewis and Colleen Murphy to help me. They did a great job for me. I'm very satisfied with their hard work. I highly recommend them. Colleen was great to talk to and very, very knowledgable about crimina...l laws.

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.
