Posted by Adam | January 25, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Contracts & Agreements

Quickly and firmly resolved

We hired Mr. Williams to handle a contract dispute with a publicity firm. We felt the firm had not provided services they were attempting to bill and sue us for. Through Mr. Williams representation and negotiation, he convinced the pre-litigation firm the publicists had hired to drop the case they ha...d brought.

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.
