Outstanding Community Service

Mr. David Tilem was a great example of providing outstanding community service without thinking of how much he would get paid. He answered all of my questions which put me at ease right away. I asked him so much questions and he answered them all that in the future when I am up financially that I w...ould donate to his costs. This how good Mr. Tiley, he showed concern and compassion at a person right away rather than getting me as a client. Thank you Mr. Tiley!! God Bless.

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.
