Posted by anonymous | July 13, 2012 | Child Custody

A Real Win-Win

Excellent representation during my 'Domestic A&B' jury trial, John provided a calming influence by keeping me up-to-date and informed along each and every step of the process by explaining all my options, this was a very difficult time for me. Needless to say it was a very favorable outcome (a win...) beacuse again I also retained his services for the following "Family & Probate' matter for custody of my daughter which also resulted with another positive outcome. Thanks again Attorney John Goggins

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.
