Christopher Doval review

Mr. Doval was extremely helpful in determining whether I had a valid case against a former employee for embezzlement. He was able to guide me through the entire legal process as I was unaware of many different factors. I would recommend Mr. Doval for whatever legal matters you need attended to, or ...he would be able to direct you to someone who could help.

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.
