Best attorney hands down

Alex was great with his representation of my case. Not only was he successful, he was very patient and compassionate. Without judgement, he excels at handling private matters and fought hard for my case. I couldn't have found a better attorney. He is extremely knowledgable and genuinely dedicated. I ...would recommend him to family, friends, and honestly anyone who wants a sincere, hard-working attorney who will do his best to fight for your case.

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.
