Very knowledgable!

Had a difficult question on a unique issue and Mr. Rowe was the only one of 6 attorneys that I spoke with to come up with the right answer and was able to lead me in the right direction. Forever thankful!

Criminal defense lawyer | Sep 15

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I met Jeff when he came to Lycoming County from York County. The experience he gained between those two counties is countless. Jeff is passionate for every client that he represents, but also, patient with his clients (which is a great trait to have and a difficult trait for most lawyers). He provides invaluable knowledge, along with strong and zealous advocacy. If I am charged with a crime and I need a private attorney to represent me in Lycoming County, Mr. Rowe is one of the first names that I think."

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.
