Solid attorney.

Mr. Ahn answered a question I posted on Avvo. He provided by far the best and answer and I had a consultation and hired him. He was extremely knowledgable and took the time to go through all my documents and concerns. He pointed out all the positives and negatives. I was very impressed. I would recom...mend him as a seasoned attorney.

The Best

I had Mr. Ahn be my lawyer for a few cases and he exceeded my expectations. I was always well informed of the situation and what to expect in court. He is very trustworthy and works as hard as he can to win 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.
