Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Robert handled a very complex estate issue related to a wrongful death claim. I refered my client to him when it was clear I had a conflict. I was very pleased with the result as was the PR of the estate. Robert is an intelligent and practical lawyer."

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.
