Very professional

With an amazing track record to view I had no reason not to go with Nick Spradlin for LLC incorporation. A great price to organize my LLC and great professionalism to boot. What was even better was the registered agent service Nick offers. It allowed me to ask any questions I needed to ask about my ...business for the year.

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.
