Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I highly recommend David Shughart. David and I were opposing counsel on a few personal injury matters. David was extremely professional and a pleasant individual to work with. He takes pride in how he represents his clients and the manner in which he interacts with opposing counsel. Through his professional and practical style of practice, he achieved favorable results for his clients that other more hostile attorneys might not have been able to reach with me."

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.
