review of w ralph canada

I have worked with Ralph Canada in several capacities over 28 years, and I have been a client of his. He is an outstanding lawyer with a commanding intellect, a great capacity for persuasion, and he has a good reputation among his peers and the judges.

Best counsel I know

Ralph have been representing me in various contingent and hourly very complex cases. His expertise, integrity and litigation style is impeccable in my opinion. This is the lawyer who does not cut corners and informs you all the way through the case on various options. I would recommend him to anyo...ne. Cheers.

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.
