Posted by Kyla Kenway | March 31, 2018 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Best attorney I've ever personally met and spoken with.

When I made an appointment I knew that he wasn't the attorney I would need for my case, but only because he did criminal law only not family law like I needed. He knew this and yet still agreed to help me and give me legal advice which no one else bothered to even do that much for me. Then he turned ...around and met with me again to discuss him taking my family members case and he still didn't turn me away. He opened his office and listened to what I had to say and he took it for better or worse and gave me exactly the legal advice I needed. He is extremely knowledgeable in law and is generally a good hearted person. He is a lawyer clearly to help those in need, not just get rich and feel power. Or abuse his power. I give him a top rating because he truly knocked it out of the park.

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.
