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

If I could give him 10 stars, I would

Attorney Wood took the time to review all the documents I had provided him and pulled out the paragraphs of the contract that could help our case. He even made additional research and talked with one of his colleagues on a few details he was less knowledgeable about. Even though it was a very sma...ll case financially speaking, he did not spare his time or efforts and his knowledge gave us a peace of mind that no-one else had been able to provide us until we talked with Mr. Wood. He did all of this for free as he thought his presence and involvement may actually be prejudicial to our case. I would have hired him without any hesitation if my case would have required counsel's presence. Highly highly recommended.

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.
