We are very please with our relationship with Mr. Weil.

Best Business Advisor

If you are a business owner and need business or tax advise for buying other companies assets Fred Weil is your guy. We have used Fred and his firm since 2010 and they have guided us in many purchases and are a valuable part of the growth of our company.

Posted by Marisa | January 26, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Limited Liability Company (LLC)

Superhero in attorney's clothing!

Fred has been meeting with us and guiding us through the trecherous waters of opening a new business, multiple LLCs, constructing strategic employment contracts and navigating us through other employment contract offers for about 3 years now. He is cynical, hyper vigilante and absolutely THE BEST per...son to have in your legal corner. He offers very objective advice, erring on the conservative/safe side of things but also cheers us on when we take risks while helping us do so only after knowing all variables and facts in play. He is also extremely responsive, offering contract advice promptly and has been avle to meet with us same day on several occasions. I truly believe Fred has our best interests at heart and I'm grateful he is on our side.

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.
