Took the time to explain the various parts of the document that I had sent over and even went a bit over the 15 min but didn't charge me, which is awesome. Definitely helped me figure out what to do in my situation.

Litigation lawyer | Apr 22

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have had the pleasure and opportunity to see J.C.'s work in several different venues, and it is consistently of the highest quality. J.C. is a strong advocate for his clients, fighting the fights that need to be fought while working to resolve issues that can and should be resolved short of court. I have a short list of attorneys I refer cases to; J.C. is on that list."

Criminal defense lawyer | Apr 06

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. JC is one of the very few lawyers I would hire myself, regardless of the crime. We won a murder case together with separate clients over a decade ago, and I saw him get a cop acquitted of professional misconduct/property damage charges in a case where I didn't think he had a prayer. He is a top notch trial lawyer with aggressiveness and a code of honor reflective of his elite military and law enforcement experience. Highly recommended."

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.
