Trustworthy, Diligent, Intelligent

Joseph Baxter has handled several cases for me. He is an extremely intelligent man. Because of Mr. Baxter's background in US Constitutional law, he is unique in that he always thinks "outside the box." Mr. Baxter is trustworthy, diligent, and intelligent. He will fight for your case and inform you al...ong the way. Mr. Baxter's worth ethic is of the highest degree.

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.
