Independent Professional Advise (IPA)

I am so very grateful that Mr. Eugene Ahtirski contacted me when I made a decision to sell a part of my structured settlement. At no cost to me for his legal advise, he did all the work in getting me more then what I was offered and having him as my IPA, I was approved by the judge, for more then wh...at was offered to me. He kept me informed to everything that was going on and represented me in court. I highly recommend Mr. Ahtirski for any and all of your legal needs. I will definately call him for any legal matters, when needed. Very friendly, trustworthy and gets the job done. God bless him in all that he does.

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.
