Extremely professional and proficient!

Mr. Theisen took care of an inheritance issue for my brother and I. He was thorough and professional. We didn’t have to worry about anything because he took care of it all. He is also extremely friendly and answers you back immediately when called or emailed. I would definitely recommend him to frie...nds and family.

Top-notch attorney!

He did exactly what he claimed he would do. He contacted me regarding a sum of money owed to me in regard to a foreclosure from 15 years ago. He did all the leg work. And within a month I received the money. Great attorney to hire. Highly recommended.

Simply Awesome!

I was very skeptical when I received a letter from Mr Theisen and honestly disregarded it. I’m glad I thought better if it. He did exactly what he said he would do.

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.
