Posted by Rob | October 01, 2013 | Business

A lawyer's lawyer.

I asked my lawyer friend who I should talk to about a business issue, and he sent me to Mr. Houston saying he didn't know of a better lawyer. At least for me, this turned out to be the case. Not only was Mr. Houston knowledgeable, he told me the best most cost effective way to handle my problem, even... though it meant he wasn't really going to make anything. Just a stellar experience all the way around - 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.
