Saved my life

Very communicative and honest lawyer. Reassured me every time I felt anxious or worried. Delivered results.

Most likely I'd still be in prison if Woods Law firm had not come on board. He was court appointed yet spared no effort and in short order had serious charges that mainly were false dismissed!! A lawyer that actually values communication with the person he represents. A lawyer who is sklilled , sm...art and puts in the work. My impression is he takes pride in his profession and is a credit to the defense. I hope he never switches sides, but if so I believe would be fair because that's in his nature. How many other lawyers give back to their community via food drives? Not many. I've never met his better half but they just had a little one and wish them the best and many thanks.

Most likely I'd still be in prison if Woods Law firm had not come on board. Just because Woods was court appointed he spared no effort and time with my case and got all charges dismissed, fast! I get the impression he takes pride in his work and actually enjoys the legal profession. I hope he never... switches sides because there just aren't enough competent, honest , skilled defense lawyers around. How many other lawyers give back to the community via things like food drives? Not many, right? Never met his better half but they just had a little guy and wish them the best. Again, if I had not fired the Allegheny public defender I'd be in prison. This attorney will work for you , not the judge and the district attorney. Not saying all pds are bad, no, but the one I had was simply treacherous. TREACHEROUS, did way more to convict me than the ada.

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.
