Great work ethic!

Represented our company in obtaining a California Finance Lenders License and a California Deferred Deposit Transaction Law license. Overall, Mr. Abergel was professional and has a hard work ethic. His response time for emails and any other form of communication was efficient and fast. He is the ...lawyer you are looking for if you are in the lending industry.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I contacted Alan to assist a client on a matter outside of my area of expertise, but within his (business dissolution). He was tremendously knowledgable and brought great comfort to the client, guiding the client carefully through an otherwise-uncomfortable dissolution, and adding a compassionate element that made the process flow much more easily. I strongly endorse Alan."

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.
