Excellent lawyer, knowledgable, and moved the heart of a resistant man to comply with our proposal.

A county officer had a reputation of being very non-compliant with building requests. Mr. Wilson did a thorough research of our situation, did a master ful job of communicating and turned the head of a stubborn man so that we were allowed to build on our property.

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.
