In a bind with the law ? Loni is lawyer you need !!

there's lawyers and more lawyers but no lawyer in this state can hold a candle to Mr De Land. Outstanding is a word that doesn't hold a bit of a title to give to this man. what a great attorney. And one heck of a good man also. If you think that there is a better attorney in the state or even in the ...country I wouldn't bet your life on it. There is no better attorney. He may be a little more costly than the others but Im telling you first hand that he is worth every cent when your in a pinch. Id put my bets on him with the top attorneys in the country. Jerry Spence was good. Loni is in that class and holds it with ease. The best !! he saved my but.

Loni Deland changed the course of my life. I was heading on my way to a life of prison and jails and with his help and kindness. I have a life that I couldn't have imagined. Thanks Loni

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.
