A brilliant lawyer and exceptional human being!

Toby joined as co-counsel on my civil case. Despite the unusual and challenging nature of the case, we managed to successfully resolve it, and Toby was so very helpful, supportive, knowledgeable, and highly professional. Have upmost confidence in him should you choose to hire him. I'm eternally grate...ful!

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.
