Excellent attorney for startups

I consulted Joe for legal advice regarding the formation of my tech startup. He's an excellent listener, thoroughly aware of both short-term and long-term potential issues, and very sharp. As a bonus, he's also a pleasant guy to chat with. Even though I'm just in the seed stage of my startup..., Joe still makes me feel like a valued client. He's responded to all of my email inquiries (about a half dozen, to date) within 24 hours. I will be using Joe for my future legal needs. I highly recommend him.

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.
