EXTREMELY RESPONSIVE, HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED BUSINESS ATTORNEY

Adam is a constant professional with whom we have been blessed to work with from our initial start up through defending a recent attacking litigation. Adam has proven to be an excellent resource that helps maintain our focus on the business while facilitating an amicable resolution. Adam has become ...an invaluable source for the future health of our company and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Posted by Allen | June 02, 2014 | Real Estate

Excellent, honest and fair.

I was referred to Adam by another lawyer friend. He promptly helped me through a difficult rescission of a real estate contract to purchase a residential property. I couldn't have asked for a better or quicker outcome. I highly recommend Adam Davalos.

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.
