Posted by Chris | August 25, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

One of the best lawyers in dfw

I hired Chris last year for a personal injury case and could not be more happy. He was extremely professional, kind, and knowledgeable. He explained the process and helped step by step explaining every thing I had to do and it's importance. I couldn't recommend anyone else after the experience I had ...I will never use anyone else.

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.
