Clear, trustworthy and honest personal injury attorney.

Alex Memmen is an extremely helpful, responsive, and thoughtful attorney. He's an excellent communicator, able to interpret situations clearly and plainly and as a result is great at dealing with clients. Highly recommended for any personal injury case.

if you want someon to help you lose your case Memmen can do it

If you avoid Alexander Memmen will save you time and money . My case was very simple and haring attorney was option .Because of my accent I decided to be on the save side . In his office he promise to work hard and even told my that I'm having big chances . Later I found out that he was givin...g me wrong information about the options I have . In the court day he was not prepared at all and from very beginning he started to lead to negotiation even I clearly asked not to from very beginning . Not only this he wanted to negotiate without me and when I disagree and wanted to be there he literally threw my folder , show a temper and disappear from the court house . I'm very disappointed by how unprofessional Alexander Mchenry Memmen is . Not recommended at all .

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.
