Thorough, trustworthy and fun-loving. I give Mr. Rogers and A+!

Mr. Rogers is an excellent attorney. I enjoy his character, respect his work ethic and trust his strategy. Will is honest in voicing when he is uncertain about something, thorough in finding clarity and expedient in his responsiveness. When being represented by Mr. Rogers I felt comfortable and secur...e that my attorney knew what he was doing!

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.
