Happy Client

Mr. Lavin reviewed some trust documents for me. His research was thorough and concise, and I believe the recommendations and changes were needed to update my files. I am very pleased with the communication between me and my lawyer as I was kept updated regularly as to the status of my case. The ti...me spent and billing was complete and concise. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Lavin to my friends and associates for excellent service.

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.
