Tax advice

This attorney came highly recommended by a two people I work with locally. On my first call I was helped immediately by an associate and very impressed with her knowledge and manner. I was informed that Mr. Toew is the only tax attorney in San Luis Obispo who has his level of certification. I was gr...eatly relieved after dealing with their office and felt that I was in great hands with my tax circumstance.

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.
