Amazing Attorney!

Alan came highly recommended from a celebrity friend when I needed an attorney for my boyfriend. Not only was he very astute, attentive and caring, there was zero pressure to hire him. I knew that he was best attorney I had met with. Over a year and half later Alan has been there every step of the... way, going way above and beyond what I believe most attorneys would ever do, and my boyfriend is free when it looked almost certain he would be in prison. Thank you so much Alan!

I chose Alan above a number of other notable attorneys because his experience is vast, his reputation is impressive (see his famous victories in defending Ricky Ross), he's brilliant and I immediately felt a deep personal connection with him. Not only is Alan charismatic and powerful, he's genuinely... caring and sympathetic. He's gone above and beyond what other attorneys would do, and I can see every move he's made has been in my greatest interest.

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.
