Posted by Tom | August 08, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Probate

A helpful, stress-free experience.

Calvin worked on my father's estate. He is friendly, knowledgable, helpful, and very easy to work with. He made a complicated procedure go smoothly and stress - free. After this very positive experience, my wife and I will be using him for our estate planning. What a wonderful man.

Excellent rating for Calvin Dexter

I was very comfortable working with Attorney Calvin Dexter. He listened to and cared about all of my concerns. He answered my questions and discussed things in terms I could understand. He identified many legal issues I was unaware of and explained how to handle those issues to meet my goals. I'll co...ntact Calvin if I need legal help again.

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.
