Excellent!

When looking for a lawyer, I was going by what people had to say about the person I was about to hire. I contacted IZG law and was connected with Tom via another lawyer. Tom did everything he could to keep me updated, I hadn't been in trouble with the law, so I had a lot of questions. He was EXTREMEL...EY helpful. He attended every court date with me, explaining what everything meant. It all worked out in my favor, if I ever need legal help, Tom will be my first choice again for sure.

I retained Mr. Creekpaum as my legal representation for divorce proceedings in Washington State. Mr. Creekpaum was not only very sensitive to my divorce process, but very professional in his approach to this sensitive matter in my life. Mr. Creekpauum is knowledgeable, diligent and was timely with... all phases of the proceeding. Mr. Creekpaum kept me informed in a timely manner and was extremely responsive to all emails and phone calls. In court, Mr. Creekpaum presented in a clear, concise and professional manner. I would highly recommend Mr. Creekpaum as an attorney.

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.
