Best Kept secret in Law

Attorney hired to design and implement complex business-contract transaction (corporate acquisition valued in excess of $100 Million Dollars). Project took 4 months and Mr. Kanter worked with one of the largest firms in the country representing the acquiring entity (we were the company being acquired...). Transaction concluded flawlessly with both sides exceptionally pleased that all problems were worked out professionally, cost effectively and quickly.

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.
