Fantastic Lawyer!

George helped me and my family through the hardest time in our lives. He is an amazing person, incredible smart and we were blessed to have found him. I have recommended 4 family members/friends to him - I hope that anyone going through tough times go to him, he is wonderful!

Honest, intelligent, compassionate attorney...recommend him highly!

George was highly-responsive both in terms of scheduling/meeting times and addressing my concerns/answering questions. His knowledge of the relevant legal issues/procedures/strategy was comprehensive--this professionalism was quite reassuring as I sought to confront my challenges. I appreciat...ed not only his legal accumen, but also his approach--he was very isightful, a good listener, and responsive. I suppose most important, HE GETS THE JOB DONE--quickly. He anticipated any "curve balls" or surprises than might arise and took steps to make sure these issues did not hinder our progress. Never did I have to wait more than a few hours to get a return phone call. I give him a 10 out of 10 and recommend him without reservation. If I ever need another attorney, George will be the first person to whom I turn.

Recommendation for Mr.George M. Basharis

Since my husband and I have filed Chapter 11, it has been ... a trying experience in that we have never filed ... in 30+ years of doing business. Mr. Basharis has been an exceptional attorney; Helping us to understand the law , and what we have to do... without making us feel like failures. He is ki...nd and understanding of our situation, and I'm thankful to have an attorney help us through this without all the drama that could cause me and my husband unecessary stress and discomfort that often can accompany a situation such as this. Mr. Basharis is patient and I don't feel he is rushing me in and out of his office when we have to meet and he is very knowledgeable of the law. I believe if he has questions he will research to the best of his ability, and I also believe he has "our" best interest at heart, without prior consideration of what's in it for him. We are so glad to have found Mr. Basharis because, if there is such a thing as going through this in Peace...we have been. Thanks!

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.
