He Hasn’t worked for me

I was assigned Brian through Cabrillo Law Group my first conversation with Brian regarding a misdemeanor charge was if you don’t do anything you don’t need to worry the police won’t show up at your house or work to arrest you. I have attempted to reach him numerous times via email no response from ...him it has been a couple of months I don’t know what is happening with my case I requested information from him regarding my case nothing from him He won’t work for you in your case

"I endorse this lawyer. Specifically I endorse this lawyer because he believes he can win against all odds. He has the mentality to win against all odds. He understands that to win you have to believe you can win against the resources of the state. Good for Brian. I don't endorse and never will endorse a lawyer because he endorses me. He either believes he will win or he will never win."

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.
