Outstanding Attorney.

Mr. Iverson and Mr. Friedman were both extremely knowledgeable, attentive and caring in handling my legal issues. I am grateful to have had the pleasure to work with them. I strongly urge anyone searching for an ally with legal issues to work with them, I promise you will NOT be disappointed.

Knowledgeable Bankruptcy Attorney - 5 Stars!

In 2010 it was clear I needed to make a decision to change my financial situation. I interviewed a few attorneys to understand the bankruptcy process and determine if it was right for me. I chose to move forward with bankruptcy and hired Blake to file on my behalf because he was so down to earth, v...ery knowledgeable & professional, and he took the time to answer all my questions. I was very pleased throughout the entire process. He clearly provided the steps each of us would take in the process in the time frame in which I needed it to happen and always kept me informed. My bankruptcy went through without glitches and Blake followed up with me afterward to make sure I was doing well. I have recommended and referred Blake to others for a variety of services and all of the people I have referred have been very pleased with Blake's services as well and have thanked me for referring them to Blake. 5 Star rating for this knowledgeable bankruptcy attorney!

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.
