Excellent advocate

Mr. Weedon is both an expert in his field and a man that holds himself to higher standard with client representation. I hired him for some personal and business legal issues, and his attention to detail was peerless. I would not hesitate to seek his guidance and representation in any legal matter th...at may arise.

Frank Weedon Review

Over the years I have retained Frank Weedon to help me with several legal matters, i.e. wills, legal matters for my grandchildren, etc. His help was outstanding. I will contact him immediately whenever I need legal assistance in the future and I will recommend him to anyone in need of perfect legal ...help.

Estate Settlement

In what had been a very contentious proceeding up to the final settlement Frank put both parties in separate rooms and over the next 2 to 3 hours worked between the 2 rooms until he had an agreement that suited both parties. He made both parties give and take till it was over and we both thought it w...as fair and all were happy. A feat I had previously thought was impossible. Frank is an amazing negotiator, and a really nice guy. Stan

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.
