Absolutely superb

Mr. Judd is extraordinarily well versed in many areas of business law to include corporate governance. His responsiveness was outstanding, if not immediate. Mr. Judd is extremely personable and was able to explain the legal ramifications of my company's circumstances in a manner which could be unde...rstood by a lay person. Further, he went above and beyond by explaining any next steps we should anticipate. I highly recommend Mr. Judd and intend to continue to utilize his services.

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.
