Estate

John Sullivan has proven to be an outstanding attorney for our needs. Mr. Sullivan is so easy to work with. Our case was unique in the way that we live across the country in another state. Our case involved an estate. We had never been through this process and did not know what to expect. Mr. Sull...ivan made us very comfortable. From the very beginning he explained to us what our case would entail and gave us an approximate time in which it would be completed. He is great at updating and never minds taking a call. He has always been pleasant. Above all it is apparent that he is very knowledgable. We could not have asked for a more competent, knowledgeable and caring attorney due to our circumstance. We would not ever hesitate in contacting Mr. Sullivan again for any further legal needs that may arise in the future.

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.
