Posted by Amy | February 21, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Family

Very thorough and detail oriented!

I was very pleased with the legal services Austin provided which were associated with a family issue we were sorting out. He covered all of the information very thoroughly and led us to a successful outcome. I highly recommend his legal services.

Posted by James F | February 16, 2017 | Bankruptcy & Debt

Construction Fraud

Austin provided invaluable advice in pursuing a contractor who requested a sizable deposit for building materials, performed a minimum of work and then declared bankruptcy. With his advice for navigating the legal process, we were able to recoup a high percentage of that deposit, which was never spen...t by the contractor to obtain those materials. We are indebted to Austin for his assistance and concern.

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.
