The Best of the Best

Ijeoma Opara took on my case after I was told by multiple lawyers that I would not win my case. I was involved in a bad car accident and after I got all the treatment done, my old lawyer was not able to find the woman that hit me as she went on the run. I was told by my old lawyers that I would not w...in my case and that I would be stuck with all these medical bills. Before transferring my case to Opara, my old lawyers had been working on my case for 2 years. Once Opara took my case on it only took her a few months to find the woman, get her served, and get all my bills paid for as well as getting me paid. She was able to do some incredible things and is a very skilled aggressive attorney who doesn’t give up and gets the job done. She was able to do what multiple other lawyers were not able to. She has some strong connections and knows the law very well. Simply The Best of the Best. Thank you Ijeoma Opara

Help when I needed it.

Ms. Opara successfully handled a personal injury case against an extremely high profile national chain. I had been turned down by three other lawyers, and had just about given up hope of getting anyone to take the case for me when Ms. Opara said she could help me. I will be forever grateful to her... for professionalism and dedication to helping me.

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.
