Experienced, Efficient Accident Attorney

Having never been in a car accident before, I was happy to find an experienced attorney to help me through it. I didn't have the first idea about how to handle anything from the repair of my car to getting my medical bills paid for. They broke down the process into simple steps and helped me to under...stand what to expect. I was very satisfied with the outcome and recommend my friends and family to this firm regularly.

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.
