Highly Recommended

Initially, I had an attorney dragging my case out, “nickel and diming” me along the way. I dismissed her from my case and filed a substitution of attorney with Mr. Urquhart. He took my case that turned into a trial, and helped me (a father) win custody of my child that allowed us to move out of... state. Mr. Urquhart and his staff handled my custody case with amazing attention to detail. Anytime I had a question he, or his legal assistant, were always quick to answer it. I would highly recommend Mr. Urquhart to anyone!

Not recommended

Arrogant, non-communicative, combative with his own client, argumentative and defensive when questioned. What's not to like? He works part-time in Vacaville so you're at the mercy of his schedule of being in the office about 2 weeks a month. He doesn't like answering questions other than in the mos...t brusque and dismissive manner. It was really an appalling waste of money and I terminated 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.
