Top Legal malpractice attorney

Lance is the best and does well against the big insurance defense counsels. I had a very favorable outcome in a legal malpractice case.

Best Attorney

Lance Entrekin is the best attorney who knows the law and will aggressively represent his clients if the case ends up in the Court room. Lance has an amazing knowledge and presents well in front of the judge and jury. I would recommend Lance to anyone who has a substantial claim and they are lookin...g for an honest, intelligent attorney who is one of the few who will take the case to trial in the Courtroom for their client.

Attorney review of Mr. Entrekin

I am a local attorney in Tempe, AZ and have both been adverse to Lance Entrekin and also have been on the same side of legal disputes with him. I have found him on each occasion to be approachable, reasonable, extremely competent, and someone that when he tells you he'll do something, he does it. I... have recommended him to numerous clients and each one has had a great experience with Lance Entrekin. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Lance Entrekin and will continue to both refer his services to others and retain him myself when the need arises.

"I met Lance about ten years ago through a mutual friend and was impressed with his knowledge of the law and his willingness to share his knowledge with other lawyers. Almost one year later I referred my friend to him as I don't practice in Arizona. Lance took care of my friend like he was family and he helped my friend get an amazing result to his personal injury claim. My friend had nothing but great things to say about Lance and I have been referring cases to him ever since. He will treat you like family and he will give your case the personal attention it deserves!"

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.
