Excellent Attorney

Mike represented me with respect to a suspended license mess that I had gotten myself into. I was scared at what could happen as this was entirely out of character for me. Mike was very knowledgable and proactive. He provided sound advice and guidance. i received supervision and some community se...rvice to be completed within a year. Mike was on top of things and 10 days prior to the court date (which was set in 2014 for 2015), he contacted me and made sure we had our ducks in a row. I appreciated the follow up and his thoughtfulness. The process was relatively hassle free and Mike's fees are very reasonable. I highly recommend him.

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.
