Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. William has been the opposing lawyer on many cases against me and he is a great attorney. When an opposing lawyer says that, it is a very high compliment! He is great in the courtroom, depositions and with his clients. Experienced, very well educated and worlds of common sense! One of the best attorneys in town."

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.
