Posted by Rebecca | February 22, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Really cared about my case and did a great job

Mr. Ross was easy to reach, knew what he was doing and got great results. I hired him because of his experience. Anyone who has been a lawyer that long has got to know his stuff. He spent a full hour with me even before I hired him. Once I hired him I felt better immediately knowing I had someone... on my side that knew what they were doing. He always answered my calls and he spent a lot of time preparing me for the preliminary hearing on my case. I went into that courtroom with confidence. My case was dismissed. He made my nightmare go away. I couldn't ask for anything better. I definitely recommend him highly!

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.
