Great experience working with Devin

I called Devin to get help with reviewing separation documents from my previous employer. Devin was quick to respond to me, and was extremely courteous even though I could tell he was in the middle of something. He called me back, spoke with me at leisure and agreed to review my documents. After he h...ad completed reviewing my documents, he called me back and walked me through his findings. I had some specific concerns on some language in the contract and he gave me confidence that the language was standard and that the contract was fair. He also pointed out some other clauses that he thought might be problematic for me. I appreciated that very much.

Affordable, strong, quick

I hired Black Law Firm last month to deal with an employee who was threatening a lawsuit for discrimination on some bogus claims. He understood the value of my business's name and reputation and worked with us to take care of the employee. I didn't have to pay some secretive settlement or anything fi...shy at all. He just explained to the employee and his lawyer (SUPER calmly and professionally) that he didn't have a case and BOOM the other lawyer agreed and dropped the whole thing.

Merger and Acquisition

Our tech company acquired a smaller IP firm and Devin did the whole thing from start to finish. Very professional. Very competent. Very highly recommended - and now I know why. Great job, Devin!

Didn't pay double for no reason!

I own 20 businesses and have always used a big law firm. They charge $475/hr for kids who aren't even lawyers yet and more than $650/hr for lawyers. Devin helped me initially with a special needs trust and when I had a such a great experience he's now my lawyer for everything at a reasonable cost (ab...out $350) who is even better than the schmuck who was helping me before. Even his clerks are intelligent, personable, and responsive. What can your business save by using Devin's excellent services?! Call him today.

Non-compete and solicit

Devin is great! He made our employee contracts years ago for our IT firm and it's been pretty smooth sailing for years with our employees because of it. We also have him on retainer so we can call whenever we have a even a small question. He is very responsive and usually picks up or texts right away... with when he's available. We recently caught an employee trying to leave the company and take some of our clients with them. Devin shut them down hard and fast! We recovered more than $150k and even a pocket judgment for future damages. He's my lawyer and he should be your too. Best lawyer I've ever had.

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.
