Preparation of Will

James Ross prepared a will for my husband and me when we had our first child. He was very professional and helped us through the entire process, making sure that we had everything we needed to care for our family in the event that something should happen to one or both of us. We could not have done t...his without his expertise and insight. Would definitely hire again for our future needs.

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.
