Mediation 5%

Mediation is a non-binding negotiated settlement conference during which the parties can resolve their dispute with the assistance of a third-party attorney or judge. Mediation is usually more cost-effective and results in a quicker resolution of matters than traditional litigation. Our attorneys have vast experience both as advocates and mediators, having used mediation to resolve hundreds of lawsuits.

Posted by anonymous | July 26, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Oil & Gas

Exceptional Litigator

Mr. O'Conor has helped my company to obtain releases of oil and gas leases due it. He has also obtained monetary damages from oil companies for the failure to release leases and for the failure to properly pay royalties due my company. Mr. O'Conor is a person of impeccable character and I highly reco...mmend him on that account as well as for his superb legal knowledge and skills.

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.
