Raymond Bishop

Personal injury lawyer | May 13

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mr. Block worked the opposite side of a complex case involving several multinational airlines, two product manufacturers, and a large governmental entity, all of whom were sued by my client for injuries rendering him a triplegic. Mr. Block was one of no less than ten defense counsel working on the case against our client. I can say without reservation that in his time on the case, Mr. Block did more to advance the progress of the case, and therefore the interests of his client, then any other defense attorney working on the case. It was a pleasure to work on the matter with someone as technically exact, and as professional, as Mr. Block."

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.
