Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Bill is an exceptional lawyer. He is a go-to resource for bankruptcy issues. And he seems focused more on solving the problem in the most efficient way possible than winning at all costs (which often translates to "winning at all costs paid by the client"). Bill is a true asset to the legal community."

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.
