The BEST Appellate Attorney

Bob represented me in an appeal that other attorneys advised me was “unwinnable.” Bob has superb advocacy skills that enable him to take complex legal issues and develop concise and compelling (and successful) legal arguments. As a client, I especially appreciated the fact that he does exactly what h...e say he will do, without drama, hyperbole or superfluous billing. I know he is respected by attorneys and judges and has received many awards, but to me, the only important thing is that his successful appeal changed the course of my life. If more lawyers were like Bob, the law would indeed be a noble profession.

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.
