Posted by anonymous | April 12, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Excellent Legal Representation

Mr. Bush has handled several cases for me and/or family members ranging from child custody to car accident to criminal, always with excellent results. In addition to his impressive legal skills, he is always genuinely concerned with his client's situation and takes the time to honestly assess and ex...plain the issues involved. Wayne's ability and willingness to stand up for his client's interests inspire confidence. I would encourage anyone in need of legal assistance to consult Mr. Bush. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients.

Posted by anonymous | January 21, 2014 | Wrongful Death

Excellent wrongful death attorney

Mr. Bush handled a wrongful death claim for my family. He was very compassionate, and kept us informed each step of the way. He fought for our family, and in the end, obtained an excellent result. I would recommend Wayne to anyone.

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.
