Incredibly helpful & honest

I have been calling attorneys all morning trying to get an idea of whether or not I even have a case and how I should pursue my (company's) clients unpaid invoices. We're a small company and its been difficult to navigate when you have very limited resources and its already been a challenging year. E...very attorney I reached out to didn't want to answer my question or said they would charge me their hourly rate to even speak with them. Since I wasn't sure if I even had a case, I was hesitant to put money into a situation where my company is already out thousands of dollars. Not only did Jeffrey actually listen to my situation, he gave me honest and helpful advice. He gave a great overview of what my first steps would be, the possible outcomes, as well as what might be the best choice financially. I appreciated the fact that he was genuinely trying to help me and wasn't pushing me to become a client. He even offered me cost-effective solutions since he knew we were in a bind, which was very kind of him. I also appreciated that he didn't brush off my questions and took his time to answer them even though his time is incredibly valuable. I am incredibly grateful and feel better knowing what my options actually are. Thank you again, Jeffrey!

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.
