Professional Legal Help

I am a small business owner and I recently hired Mr. Belofsky to help me challenge a dishonest and unfair online review of my business. He responded to my initial request quickly via phone. Upon our initial in person consultation, he was professional and thoughtful. He had a very calm demeanor whe...n dealing with something that was very upsetting to me, and clearly brought many years of high-level expertise to the process. My complaint was resolved in a timely manner, my reputation has been restored and I am happy to put this situation behind me. Mr. Belofsky's rates are very reasonable and it was money well spent. I would not hesitate to contact him in the future.

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.
