Best lawyer ever

Mr. McElroy won my case after I got busted drunk driving for the second time. He is the best lawyer I've ever seen. I thought I was going to have to go to jail but Mr. McElroy won my case.

David Alexander Volk headshot
David Volk

Family lawyer | May 13

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer. While he is a zealous criminal and civil litigator (which is why I partnered up with him in 2010), recently I am impressed with the above-the-norm results he has been receiving in our firm's family law cases (of which he handles on his own 100%). For any family or friends that call asking for a divorce attorney, I send them to Frank McElroy."

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.
