contract dispute

Mr. Okunade helped me with a contract dispute I had with an interior designer I hired to assist in a house remodel. Her promise to reimburse me the unused portion of my deposit went unfulfilled and after repeated attempts to contact her for a quick resolution, I decided to hire Mr. Okunade. He rev...iewed my case, the contract, all emails involved and felt confident my complaints had merit. He handled everything in a timely manner, kept me informed of every step in the process and resolved the dispute much more quickly than I could have ever hoped. The designer agreed to return my unused deposit in full without the necessity to settle in court. He is a top notch and extremely professional attorney and I will absolutely use him in the future and recommend his services.

Excellent lawyer

One thing I really appreciated about Mr. Okunade is that he always kept me informed as to what was going on. Also he is a very nice man, he came all the way from Denver to Virginia to meet with me and my accountant. If I needed a lawyer again I would hire him again without hesitation.

2016

I hired Tayo as my attorney for a difficult case against a wrongful termination case against a large corporation. Tayo fought hard for me and I received a settlement in the end. Tayo is very honest and forthright. I would definitely hire him again as my lawyer.

Great experience with Tayo

Tayo helped me with a contract situation and was measured, calm, knowledgeable and reliable. He was incredibly responsive to my many emails, and made time to meet with me personally. If my situation progresses further I will not hesitate to continue to work with him as my lawyer.

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.
