The Absolute Best

Yigal Bander represented me in a personal injury case about a year ago. I could not have been more happy with his work, he was always open to communication, worked around my complicated schedule, excelled in providing realistic timelines, and was extremely well prepared. He also excelled in making me... feel secure and prepared in every step of the process. I could not be more thankful to him and the team over at Manasseh and Gill.

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.
