Litigation lawyer | Sep 16

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Mr. Smith remains one of the most dynamic and intelligent lawyers I know. He has an unmatched ability to size up a case and recall facts in nearly every situation. I have watched personally take impossible circumstances and turn them to victories for clients. Here is but a small example: A few years ago I sent him a business litigation case involving a well know restaurant business. Through his dedication and skill he took what was fast destroying the future of this great group and through sound decisions placed it back on course. Without him there would be no Farrell's Restaurants open anywhere. The long hard fought battle was won through excellent work. This also includes the exceptional attorneys who work with Mr. Smith - all of whom display excellence and superior judgement. I trust him and cannot give him a higher recommendation."

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.
