Cream of the Crop Attorney!

Jeffrey Kmoch played hard ball when it came to my discrimination case against my former employer. His diligence, experience, counsel and tireless effort gave me an end result that I could have only dreamed of! He guided me every step of the way and never skipped a beat when it came to handling all as...pects of my case. Jeffrey is thorough, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about employment law! I heartily recommend Jeffrey for anyone seeking an employment law attorney. What a blessing you are. Thanks Jeffrey!

Thank you Jeff for representing me with your 100% support.

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.
