Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Katie Garvin and I worked together on numerous complex litigation matters. I have seen Katie in action in court many times and observed that she is an extremely effective advocate. She knows the right questions to ask witnesses, how to ask the questions, and how to argue her points effectively to the judge and jury."

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.
