Procurement Law

Emanuel handled a complex procurement issue for our company on a public works project. His quick response and resourcefulness limited our firm's exposure and resulted in the best possible solution. Emanuel's ability to separate the complicated matter into its most relevant parts, and address each ...individually, turned an overwhelming situation into a manageable one. We are incredibly grateful for his counsel.

Above and Beyond My Expectations

I write to thank you for your very efficient and effective legal work for us recently. About a month ago we determined that we needed legal advice and assistance with a matter involving the purchase of a jet aircraft. As you are aware the issues involved were not normal issues with which you deal... with on a routine basis. We made contact late in the afternoon and had urgency in our need for direction and action. I was so impressed that even though you had personal commitments to meet immediately that evening that you took the information home and contacted us a few hours later with some questions. Subsequently, you gave us very actionable information which allowed us to proceed successfully. You followed up with additional recommendations and negotiated on our behalf successfully. My company has had legal representation in the course of business. My impression is that we get quality representation, but nothing beyond what would be expected by a client. Your representation went beyond what I would have expected. I thank you for your work on our behalf. Please feel free to use me as a reference for anyone wishing to verify your quality professional representation.

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.
