Review for Christos Photio

Mr Photio has helped me with filing an appeal for my VA disability rating. I'm still waiting for a decision from the VA but he went above and beyond with his assistance. He was able to answer all of my questions and even kept me from going hungry on many, many nights. He genuinely cares about the peo...ple he serves and will go the distance to help as much as he can.

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.
