Knowledgeable and compassionate

Happy I was referred to Attorney Abernathy. He was knowledgeable and kind. He listened and eased my concerns about next steps and expectations. In all, I'm thankful for the fresh start he's helped me gain.

Highly Recommend Atty. Robert Abernathy

I made every effort to collect a debt from a client including filing suit at the District Magistrate office. When the defendant appealed I had no alternative but to retain counsel. I met with Atty. Abernathy, gave him my complete file and within 5 days he had filed a complaint in Delaware County. ...Within 2 months Atty. Abernathy had the case settled and I had my money within 30 days. Doesn't get any better than that! I would highly recommend Atty. Robert Abernathy.

Robert was very helpful and was quick to respond to emails, phone calls and texts answering any questions we had. We'd definitely recommend him! Thanks Robert!

Settlement

Attorney Abernathy worked diligently to settle my case in rapid fashion and was very professional every step of the way. I tried and struggled for months with my case using other legal services and within 4 days of speaking with him, he had my case finalized. Highly recommended.

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.
