This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

VP Operations, Americas

I hired Mr. Wallack to assist with preparing/threating a third party with a civil lawsuit to clear ownership of property in California. I'm located in South Carolina. Not only did his strategy work it was completed in "gazelle" like time. I greatly appreciate his timeliness, his expertise, and bei...ng available for any questions or calls related to this topic. I can't thank Mr. Wallack enough for all that he has done. The building sold in record time once the ownership was cleared. Best attorney I've ever worked with. I hope to meet him someday in person. With sincerity.

Gordon Wallack Excellent Lawyer

Although having to enlist the services of a lawyer is never a pleasant experience having an experienced professional is always comforting. I was satisfied with the manner in which Mr. Wallack represented me during and more importantly even now after my case has come to a settlement. I always interv...iew several professional candidates in matters such as these and I feel that I made the correct choice in regards to choosing Mr. Wallack to represent me.

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.
