Marketing Director

Hire attorney over the years for the following: will, traffic ticket, power of attorney, and miscellaneous document review. He is very thorough and has a calm and helping style.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very helpful and relatively tech savvy

I found Mr. Conway on Google and called because he was close by; his office was just across the street from Lake County Courthouse. He was on time to meetings even though I wasn't always. He gave me some very good advice regarding my divorce and an Emergency Order of Protection. He emailed my docu...ments which was so convenient. And he took payments from my Visa on his smart phone, although there was a fee for that. I was very pleased. For a busy lawyer he still took the time to be helpful and explain everything.

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.
