Posted by Olivia | June 04, 2013 | Workers Compensation

Efficient, Honest, Thorough

I have recommended Trent Besse on several occasions. He has helped me settle 2 workmen's comp cases, as well as one for my son. I like the way he keeps me informed with the progress of the case. He knows the law and makes solid recommendations to me. I am agreeable with the settlements he gets fo...r me. I will call him again, in a heart beat.

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.
