Wise and kind lawyer.

Mr. Rainwater assisted my family with a legal matter a few years ago and provided very wise counsel during a stressful situation. Mr. Rainwater was also extremely kind and had great empathy for our situation. I highly recommend Mr. Rainwater to anyone seeking help with a legal matter or persoanl inj...ury situation. You will not find anyone more capable or more understanding.

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.
