Very Generous Consultation

After calling the number listed on Avvo for a phone consultation, we had a brief conversation with Gary and, at his request, emailed our circumstances. Gary replied with a very detailed response regarding our issue (a small business contract dispute). He spent a considerable amount of time researchi...ng the issue which we really appreciated. Thank you, Gary Fergus!

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.
