Exceeded all Expectations -

At the most difficult time in my life Justin took over all my legal issues - we sat down day one and listed out the desired outcome - he exceeded every point. I highly recommend Justin for your Divorce and Parenting Plan needs - his experience and focus keeping an eye on me and what was best for the ...divorce and also keeping an eye out for my children and keeping their best interest at heart while balancing my emotions and what was best long term. You will not find a better lawyer than Justin Sedell.

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.
