Posted by Bryan | August 22, 2017 | Consulted Attorney
I posted a question and Mr Wolff responded and even asked if he could review my case. It turned out that my case was too small and it was worth it for me to pursue out of court, which worked out just fine.

George Wolff is an excellent construction lawyer. He has helped my construction business greatly. He has profound legal knowledge and experience. He combines these with deep wisdom and common sense. I consider him to be at the very top in his profession.

We want to thank George Wolff for his wise counsel in helping us recuperate money for the reconstruction of our home. He kept us always informed and worked diligently and honestly on our case. We couldn't have done it without him.
"George Wolff probably has more construction law experience than any other S.F. attorney. He went to Stanford and has engineering and MBA degrees, as well as a JD. His hourly rates are low for someone with his credentials, and his billing practices are very fair. He gets all my construction law referrals."
"I frequently answer the same questions as Mr. Wolff on AVVO and have always found him to have an excellent understanding of construction law. He gives very sound and practical advice. I highly endorse this lawyer."

"George is a fabulous attorney who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the area of Construction law. This a complex area of the law and you really need someone who understands the "nuts and bolts" of construction work as well as the legal intricacies of construction law. George is the expert on both."
"I have known Mr. Wolff for several years and recommend him wholeheartedly for his expertise in construction defect litigation and lien management, and for his high ethical standards and ability. I have heard several of his lectures for other lawyers on construction law and related topics, and have always been impressed by his depth of knowledge, creative thinking, and good judgment. George Wolff has also advised me in connection with a construction defect arbitration, pointing out several legal issues that I had overlooked. I endorse Mr. Wolff and his law firm with out reservation."
