A pleasant experience.

My case was a personal injury accident which took place in Durango, Co. I was referred to Mr. Copeland by another lawyer who backed out of my case at the last moment. I talked with Mr. Copeland via telephone many times before I met him. Mr. Copeland maintained contact with me and kept me informed ...as to how the case was progressing. I met Mr. Copeland for the first time when he came to Michigan with the opposing lawyer to take depositions. Mr. Copeland sat down and explained what was going to take place at the deposition. The next time that I met with Mr. Copeland was in Denver in June of 2008 for a mediation hearing. Mr. Copeland led us through the hearing, answering our questions and explaining our options. We settled our case to our satisfaction. I should mention that due to my former occupation as a Police Officer, and my wife.s former occupation as a court magistrate, wwe had both had many dealings with lawyers over the years. Mr. Copeland renewed my faith in lawyers. To sum it all up, I highly reccomend Mr. Copeland. He was not only our lawyer but became a friend.

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.
