He Cares About People

Without the help of Mr. Cornell and the people in the office we would probably still be waiting for a decision. I heard from other people that Mr. Cornell was the best in the area and they were right. I strongly recommend Mr. Cornell to anyone looking for an attorney, he did a wonderful job for us.... He really cares about people who need help.

Professional firm

I was involved in an accident that was not my fault. I have never been in this situation before. Danny and his crew sat down with me and assured me they would take good care of me. The work they do is professional and complete. They know the fine details and will help you to the end as they did with ...my case!

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.
