Posted by Tom | October 05, 2012 | Insurance

Excellent client service practice, current/wide legal knowledge, quick case study, honest

We engaged Susan Oliver, Partner at White, Oliver & Amundson on very short notice. We needed a very sharp real estate attorney to step in and recoup our defense against a lawsuit where the plaintiffs/buyers were claiming non-disclosure, when it became clear that the counsel we had previously retaine...d was not competent and was jeopardizing our defense. In just four days prior to the scheduled mediation Susan quickly got up to speed and prepared an exemplary Mediation Brief including citing pertinent civil code and case law in counterpoint to the complaint as filed. At the mediation meeting Susan presented professionally and assertively, and maintained momentum while negotiating to where we won a 65% reduction in damages. Further, she determinedly pursued the homeowner’s insurance claim and negotiated a full settlement with the insurance company for payment of damages and fees.

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.

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.
