Excellent, Honest Service

I was extremely satisfied with this attorneys services. When he contacted me, he stuck to the most relevant details and didn't overburden me with too much information, but remained clear and concise about my options. I felt he was honest and concerned over my circumstances and I greatly appreciated... that.

"Our office has been referring cases to Charlie, J.B. and Richard for the past 35 years. We are extremely happy with the attention that all cases get from initial intake all the way through resolution and that happiness extends to the results that they get on a consistent basis. That includes all cases, whether they are settled for $10,000 or upwards of $10,000,000, and there have been examples at both ends of the spectrum and everywhere in between. The communication with the clients has proven great and just as importantly, the attorneys at Karlin, Fleisher & Falkenberg keep us advised as the case progresses so that we can intelligently comment on the status of the case should a client call us for any reason. Our firm relies on the attorneys of Karlin, Fleisher & Falkenberg and we hope to be able to continue that reliance for another 30 years."

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.
