This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very Knowledgable & Thorough

Alex was an absolute pleasure to work with. I reached out seeking council regarding a corporate contract and he was incredibly thorough in his examination and explanation of the document. What's more, he went above and beyond to provide me with additional research and support to settle all of my ques...tions. I would recommend Alex to all of my friends and colleagues.

BEST ATTORNEY EVERY!

From beginning to end, Alex was great! He picked up the phone on my first call and stayed in contact the entire time, even if it was just to say there was no update yet. He helped with my situation and got me the results I needed. Alex also helped keep the situation as cost effective and timely as po...ssible. I would HIGHLY recommend Alex to anyone that could use his services. I can't thank him enough!

Great Advice on Contract Review

Alex reviewed an employment contract for software development work that I was considering (I am a software developer). My company is based in another state, but the company I would work with was based in California. Alex responded very quickly, and reviewed the contract promptly. He offered severa...l insights into the contract that helped confirmed my suspicions about working with the company, and suggested a few courses of action I could take to protect myself should I still want to proceed with the contract. In the end, I did not sign the agreement, and I thank Alex for his expert help making me feel comfortable with my decision.

Trusted Legal Advisor

Alex Ripps has a unique ability to translate a very complex situation into an easy to understand situation with clear plan to follow. I'm a DC based real estate investor that bought into the LA market, following the distressed property purchase I was notified that the previous owner was naming me in... a lawsuit. Very fortunate to have Alex and his team on my side to talk through situations for peace of mind and executing on the appropriate strategy.

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.
