Posted by Mike | December 02, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Contracts & Agreements

Very grateful to have hired Peter Fox

I hired Peter Fox and Michael Fox to represent me in a very complex breach of contract case. Peter remained accessible, responsive, and communicative during the entire process from filing to jury trial. Very pleased with his personality, smarts, and skills.

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.
