Dismissed from College

To say that this law firm is awesome, would be an understatement. I was expelled from my college for an alleged plagiarism issue, and I goggled about law firms that represented students in such cases and this law firm stood out. Mike was assigned to work on my case. I could not believe the passion an...d attention to detail that he brought to bear on my case. Mike was very responsive, knowledgeable and professional, returned all my calls, a very good listener, accommodating, and honest in his approach. Above all, he took his time to understand all aspects of the situation (very responsive even at weekends). Within a few days of Mike's engagement, I was reinstated back at my college to peruse my nursing program. I would definitely recommend him and his firm to my family and friends…

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.
