This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Top notch

I unfortunately found myself needing legal counsel, and it took me a while to find the right attorney to help me understand my rights. I am very fortunate to have landed at MJSB with Chris Moreland as my primary attorney. Chris stood by me through the entire process and helped me navigate what can ...be an extremely stressful and confusing process. Most important to me is the fact that MJSB never tried to force me in a particular direction. Instead, they took the time to carefully and meticulously explain to me what my options were and what I could expect based on how we chose to proceed. It was truly a team effort, with Chris and MJSB providing the advice and counsel I needed so that I could make the decisions that were best for me and my personal circumstances. I was especially impressed with their thoroughness and the time Chris and his team spent with me to address my questions and concerns. I consider myself quite fortunate to have found Chris and his team and I would unreservedly recommend MJSB to those seeking sound, expert counsel from a firm that always remembers their clients are people, not just numbers or cases.

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.
