Outstanding Negotiator, and Brilliant Attorney!

Bob Jr. represented me in a real estate transaction that was rather complex. Without his expertise, efforts, and communication; the deal would have cost us thousands of dollars more. He is responsive and knowledgeable in both personal and business law, and I highly recommend him!

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.
