Best Lawyer

Nigel was recommended to us 6 years ago, to defend my Son against felony vandalism. He was prompt, professional and got my son knocked down to a misdemeanor with probation. Thank you so much for seeing us through that stressful time. I rely on Nigel often for Legal advice. He so helpful and professio...nal he will return calls while on vacation. I will continue to recommend him to anyone in need of an Attorney not just criminal cases.

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.
