Estate and Probate Handling

After my brothers early death that left no will or estate, Raymond assisted me with the Probate process. After our initial conversation and meeting, I was confident that he was the Attorney I should use. While going though Probate, Raymond was professional throughout; he always returned phone calls/...e-mails swiftly, and sent reminders and updates of important dates. The long process of Probate became painless. I would describe Raymond as: Courteous, Professional, Ethical, Knowledgeable, Prompt, Focused. I would highly recommend his service.

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.
