Durable Power of Attorney

Joe provided excellent, quick, and personal service for our family after we learned that my mother's 20-year-old Power of Attorney document was invalid. Due to my mother's failing health time was of the essence. Joe personally delivered the new document to her hospital room for her signature and h...e notarized it on the spot. She was hospitalized 40 miles or so from his office and he did all this on a Saturday. We so appreciate the extra effort Joe made for our family.

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.
