Man of integrity

This man is about business. When I called him to make initial contact. He was patient and thoroughly listened to my plight and clearly and concisely advised me of my next steps and was gracious to help me. I was dealing with a Marijuana possession charge that could potentially end my trucking career.... Long story short. Mr. Trahan went the extra mile to convey my innocence in my absence of court. In fact because of him and is proactiveness I didn't step foot in court physically throughout the whole ordeal. He was very understanding and wise and even offered to help me with other elective legal matters i intended to do. He is a worthy contender on your behalf and will get the job done at a reasonable cost. He genuinely disclosed all necessary steps and diligently followed up on them. Give him a chance to do right by you because he has for me. My case got dismissed well before trial began solely based on the actions of this man. Im truly grateful.

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.
