Dissaponted

Mr. Aubel handled a case for me several years ago. Mr. Aubel did not return phone calls for weeks and sometimes months. I was left in the dark about upcoming court dates and other pertinent details of the case.

Top notch expert in his field

Leo always takes the necessary time to understand the complete scope of my transaction and provides valuable solutions. I may not always like his response, but I have the critical information to make solid decisions. Much to Leo's credit is his ability to be a true conselor and find a way to bring... people to resolution instead of litigation. That said, he's a tiger when he needs to be.

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.
