Awesome firm and team

This lawyer is honest and straightforward; he don't give you unnecessary nonsense. He puts in a lot of effort for his clients! His team is always professional and genuinely cares about the well-being of their clients. "This involves everyone, from the wonderful receptionist to the legal teams and oth...er employees!"

Excellent job done

I hired Gerald Arrington of the Law Offices of Clifton Black to represent me, and he was on top of my case from the initial meeting to the end, including every court appearance, every meeting, and every negotiation. He made sure that I was in good hands and went out of the way to make sure I was rep...resented. I would retain him again in a heartbeat!

Incredible Attorney

Gerald was a 3 term Commonwealth's Attorney and before that, a well respected criminal defense attorney while he was in Virginia. He brings 20 years of that experience to Colorado to help those in need of quality legal representation.

I highly recommend Gerald. He was very professional, knowledgable, friendly, and honest. He is the best around and will do everything he can to provide you with top notch service.

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.
