Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I fully endorse attorney Stephen Kane. He served as co-counsel in a trial regarding a business sale dispute. He was sharp, passionate, reliable, and very keen during the trial. In working with Stephen outside of trial, he has always been very sharp with identifying strategies and issues."

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.
