very knowledgeable, yet has an easy going demeanor

Mr. Waters is very knowledgeable, yet has an easy going demeanor that makes you feel at ease in even the most stressful situations. This made the entire process much more manageable for my family business. Our case was successful, and we felt better during it. What more could you ask?

Posted by anonymous | May 10, 2013 | Employment & Labor

Worst $50 dollars ever spent.

I paid $50 for a 30 minute consultation. His secretary said to bring in paperwork so that he could review it. He would not even glance at it. He said employers can do whatever they want, and that changing job descriptions after an employee has filed serious complaints was not retaliatory. He was very... disinterested. Luckily he is not the only employment lawyer in the Springs. The next gentleman I visited was appalled by the evidence I presented, and immediately agreed to take my case.

"I tried a case against Mike in 2014. He presented as aggressive and thorough, but very professional and courteous. While both sides pursued their case, we were able to agree on exhibits, witnesses, evidence, etc. Mike was an example of how contentious cases can be tried with professionalism."

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.
