Rocky River Municipal Court - Result: Case Dismissed - At City's Cost

Neil P. McGowan is, and ever since I have known him, a class act. Neil took the Research aspect of my case to a great detail, and object oriented approach to prove to the Municipal court without any reason of doubt, that I should not have been ticketed at all to begin with. Neil's standup charact...er, professional demeanor, and will to fight for the people, proved to save my family money that I would have had to work days, possibly weeks to recoup. Neil maintained full integrity with his client, Me, and came through big time, for the little guy. Thanks again NPM!!!

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.
