Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mr. Purcell is an excellent immigration attorney. He is very well respected among immigration lawyers in Oregon. He has been my mentor for almost a year. I have learned so much from him about different areas of the law. He is the first one I call whenever I have a question because I know with over 30 years of experience he would have the correct answer. But the most I learned from him is professionalism. He takes his work very seriously and cares about his clients very much. I highly endorse him because of his ability, knowledge, professionalism, and caring heart."

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.
