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

Very helpful

I called the office of Mr. Kannan and left a voice mail. I was called back by the secretary within an hour. I had a few specific questions and was told that I would get a call back from Mr. Kannan, who called me even earlier than expected. I wanted to make an appointment to discuss my issues, but Mr.... Kannan gave me answers to all my questions on the phone for free! I was truly amazed at his knowledge and helpfulness. What an awesome attorney!

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.
