Relationship: Friend

"I've been friends from Mr. Jones since elementary school, and was his room mate in law school. While never having the pleasure to work with him on any matters, as we are not licensed in the same jurisdictions, I am aware of his experience and record as a prosecutor, as well as his private practice experience. I know him to have great court room skill as well as research and writing abilities. More importantly, I know him to be of the highest character. I highly endorse this lawyer's work."

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.
