Excellent attorney, great advice

I consulted with Mr. Carlson on a personal injury matter when I was hit by a car in a crosswalk. He was well-versed in the relevant law and kept me informed. I was very satisfied with the results, and I recommend him highly for any legal issue.

Brilliant attorney, highly effective

I had a bizarre case involving fireworks in the middle of winter in Seattle, and Jay effectively helped me through the process of dealing with the situation. He was always available by phone or email whenever I had questions. I never even had to go to court. Jay is an excellent attorney, who gave m...e helpful, timely advice, and if I need further assistance I will contact him immediately.

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.
