Efficient and HIgh Quality Legal Services

I worked with John Ellis on an employment/compensation-related legal matter. John was able to get up to speed on a complex case with multiple contracts, employers and financial implications very quickly. He was very knowledgeable about the relevant legal topics and also gave exceptional strategic a...dvice on how to approach the case. John was extremely responsive and always kept on top of key dates and milestones in the case (even after settlement). I plan to work with John on all my future legal needs and 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.
