Posted by Ololade | August 26, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Having Mr. Buma advocate for me was the best decision.

I had a personal injury case in New York where the defendants kept saying I wasn't injured. Mr. Buma made lots of court appearances and filed motions and the court found my injuries to be significant. I recovered a large settlement after than. The process did take a long time but Mr. Buma kept me ...informed every step of the way.

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.
