Posted by Jim in SANTA CRUZ | March 02, 2011 | Landlord & Tenant

A most favorable outcome; efficient use of time

I retained Mr. Mendivil to represent me in a landlord/tenant dispute. I found him to be knowledgeable, focused, and empathetic to my concerns. He reviewed the pertinent documents, assessed the facts and asked relevant questions before succinctly explaining my options. At my request, he prioritized my... options and made recommendations I followed his guidance and the result was extremely favorable; in addition, he was conscious of time and billable hours and minimized costs to me. I have found Mr. Mendivil to be an excellent attorney. He is even-tempered, approachable, and easy to work with. His ethics are beyond reproach and yet still he has a "will to win". I am delighted with all aspects of the professional service and representation I received from Creighton and I recommend him unconditionally.

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.
