Professional and Informative

Adrienne assisted us with our case concerning a house contractor that did not fulfill their contract requirements. She was very professional in her dealings and kept us informed on the progress of our case. We did reach a settlement agreement in our favor. We would not hesitate to utilize her and ...Micheal Ware's services again if needed. I would highly recommend them to others.

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.
