Practices with Integrity

Attorney Bible listened carefully, and provided a very clear step-by-step description of what we were facing, what his representation would entail, possible outcomes and cost during the initial consultation. After we selected him as counsel his word proved to be bond. He kept us informed at every s...tep of the process and he represented with competence. We were confident in his representation because he was up front about all possible outcomes at all times and he had a well thought out multi-pronged plan that considered every possibility. His experience and attention to detail were invaluable. I have referred others to Mr. Bible and they have expressed the same satisfaction with his services. I would strongly recommend Mr. Bible to anyone seeking representation.

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.
