Posted by anonymous | January 28, 2013 | Employment & Labor

Experienced, Professional Attorney

Daniel was extremely diligent and thoughtful with respect to my labor case against a former large employer. He exhibited a great ability to view the issue from all sides while articulating the potential outcomes, good or bad. This case was very important to myself and family and we are happy we hired... Daniel to represent our issue. He provided consistent follow up and attention, which is a great asset as well.

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.
