GREAT JOB

I had gotten behind on my mortgage payments. Mr. McAvoy helped me to avoid foreclosure and get back on track with my payments. We met several times and he is very knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and was very efficient with handling all of the paperwork and filings that needed to be ...done. I would recommend him to anyone who needed help with a foreclosure.

Attorney Brendan Lee McAvoy

I am a current client of Brendan Lee McAvoy. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you what a thoroughly outstanding job that he did for me in my case. He was the complete and consummate professional in the handling of my case. He kept me informed on every aspect of the case from start to f...inish. He is an amazing attorney and a huge asset to anyone that would hire him. He is the meaning behind For the People. I greatly appreciate and thank him for his sharp eye and for having him on my side.

Posted by Cary | April 05, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Landlord & Tenant

First Class lawyer and very thorough.

I contacted the attorney on a reference as I had a real estate legal issue regarding rental property. Attorney Mc Avoy was not only a great value for the money, but laid out all options and courses of actions and was very sensitive to my ideas. I relied heavily on him through several mediations and... court appearances and if I need any legal advice again I feel I have someone I can count on for an honest appraisal of my situation.

The Key to Being Great at any Profession is the Capacity to Effectively Listen

While many spend years learning the basics of their chosen profession, until relationship building skill-set is evolved, the capacity to become the best in that profession is diminished. This is where Brendan excels, he truly listens, asks appropriate questions, takes the time to understand the dynam...ic, and provides valuable feedback. At times, "life" engenders struggles that must be addressed. I'm thankful I found Brendan, and will continue to use his services.

Very Honest

My consulting with Attorney McAvoy was very professional and he answered all of my questions. He knows his law and made me at ease. I have no problem referring Atty McAvoy to any of my friends and family.

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.
