Well Informed And Dedicated team

My John Rivas and his team exceeded my expectations! He was very supportive right from the start. He returned every call and responded to my emails timely that I was encouraged. At the end my case was a success! I wish I could give more than five stars.

review of services rendered

I found the services of this law firm were outstanding. They kept me informed at every turn and went out of their way to obtain a positive outcome for my case. I found them friendly, caring and knowledgeable. I have already recommended them to a fellow co worker and will continue to do so.

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.
