Very Responsive

I have conferred with Jerry multiple times and I have found him to be very responsive and great at listening. I also appreciate his experience with mediation because it can really make a difference with holding down legal costs.

Laura

Jerry has done great work on my Estate Plan, he was thoughtful and thorough and made sure we understood everything in the plan. Easy to work with and now we are protected from probate with our new Trust, etc.!

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.
