Model of Professionalism

Richard Weese was the model of professionalism & knowledge while we worked together on a family members case. The court and language of the legal system was new to us and we were very pleased at the time he took to explain the process and next steps needed along the way. I am hoping we never need an ...attorney again, yet if we get into a situation where we need advise, he is the first call I will make! Thanks Richard for all the hard work... Its much appreciated!

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.
