Debt collection lawyer | Jun 04

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I originally met Jim while we were opposing counsel in a civil debt collection matter. The matter ultimately settled, largely in part due to his experience and professionalism in handling the case. Jim is a true professional in every sense of the word, and effective advocate for his client, and fierce champion for justice. Since meeting Jim, we've become close associates, ultimately sharing office space together and representing as co-counsel on a number of matters."

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.
