Superb

Lance was amazingly competent and compassionate. He answered every call I made to him. He also called me to communicate and make sure that everything was going well. I cannot imagine a better attorney and I would highly highly reccomend him.

Posted by Nicholas | November 24, 2022 | Hired Attorney

Outstanding!

Outstanding attorney. I’ll have Lance on retainer for the rest of my life. He is well versed in a plethora of law related matters. Lance is attentive, judicious, punctual, timely and an intellect. I’d recommend Lance to anyone.

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.
