Posted by anonymous | February 23, 2015 | Landlord & Tenant

Excellent, Great Service

Mr. Sartz helped me with a Landlord/Client issue. I had previously started an eviction on some tenants that did not only not pay their rent, but caused a lot of issues at one of my properties. After Mr. Sartz took my case, it was handled very efficiently, and now those bad tenants are nothing but a... memory that we have moved past. In the future, I will use him as needed.

best lawyer ever used

I hired Jacob to represent my wife who had a PPO order against her. When I called (every time) Jacob answered. He was on the ball with everything. Jacob was up front, very hard working, and he was very prepared. We won our case in five minutes.

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.
