Best lawyer

He was the best lawyer ever he solved my case without any problems I am really happy the way my case ended up.

Posted by Liza | July 05, 2018

Wonderful

I went in for a consultation and he talked things out with me and it seemed as if he understood my consultation. I didn't end up hiring because I moved but if I hadn't I would have hired him

Terrible advice

I went to Mr. Gaffney for a consultation. He was incredibly arrogant, disrespectful of my situation and patronizing. There are plenty of bankruptcy attorneys in Brooklyn, so I left and went ato someone competent.

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.
