Posted by John | June 21, 2011 | Administrative Law

Great Lawyer in my Administrative Hearing & Criminal Hearing

Seth O’Dell was recommended to me by my primary criminal attorney. I was falsely accused of a crime. Mr. O’Dell and my primary criminal attorney worked to get the criminal charge dismissed. A month later, the accuser and a state agency went after one of my professional licenses. Mr. O’Dell ...led a team of lawyers who defended my license. He won the administrative hearing and my license was reinstated without restriction. Mr. O’Dell proved himself to be a hard working and resourceful lawyer. He was also a very personable and supportive friend as I went through the legal machine. I would recommend Mr. O’Dell and his team to any person needing legal representation.

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.
