Great Attorney!

John assisted my husband and I in creating new wills. He helped us make key decisions in its content, kept us apprised of all legal ramifications of our decisions and always respected what we wished to do. He never made it more complicated than we wanted which he could have easily done with unnecessa...ry legal language and execution hurdles for our Executor. Creating wills can be a harrowing experience, but John made it as pleasant as possible with his care, timeliness, professionalism and down to earth demeanor.

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.
