Pa Review – Confidential – 9

John is a highly knowledgeable and professional in the estate legal area. He has provided me as an executor and the estate’s beneficiaries over a five year period with outstanding guidance. He is available on both weekends and after hours. His fees are extremely reasonable for the services provided. I would highly recommend him as an estate attorney.

Pa Review – Confidential – 8

John has been a Godsend to the family, handling a very emotionally-draining estate administration for a disabled surviving spouse. He has been extremely patient. He provides more than basic legal services; he’s been extremely helpful and super-patient, even providing a shoulder for her to cry on when the going gets extra tough, and can approach sometimes-difficult family members with apparent ease. John was the perfect selection for the family’s needs, and I would gladly recommend him.

… I enjoy writing, teaching, and blogging … However, and although I do tend to share some of my blog posts on some of the social media sites (i.,e., Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, etc.), I do not share all of them on those sites …

… Further, and as many of my clients, friends, and family (who do not engage in social media), email me and text me questions regarding my area of law, the answers and guidance that they may be seeking are often contained in my blog …

… Therefore, in order to receive all of my blog posts via email (I blog a few times a week – about a variety of things), you can subscribe to my blog easily … You can also unsubscribe as easily …

… Enter your email address (you do not even need to list your name or any other information) …

… Once you do subscribe, you will receive a quick confirmation email (please check your junk folders and your spam folders as they may label the confirmation email in such a manner).

… Thank you …

John

2018 Avvo Superb

2018 Avvo Superb – Rating

The Avvo Rating is our effort to evaluate a lawyer’s background based on the information available in an attorney’s Avvo profile. We create the rating using a model that considers information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from public sources like state bar associations and lawyer websites. Any information that affects the Avvo Rating is visible in an attorney’s profile.

Why the Avvo Rating can help you find the right attorney:

  • There is no bias. The rating is calculated using a mathematical model, and all lawyers are evaluated on the same set of standards.
  • The Avvo Rating cannot be bought. At Avvo, all lawyers are treated equally. We don’t play favorites, and attorneys can’t pay us to improve their ratings.
  • It was developed by legal professionals and people looking for legal services. The model used to calculate the rating was developed with input from hundreds of attorneys, thousands of consumers, and many other legal professionals who deeply understand the work attorneys do. We created the Avvo Rating to reflect the type of information people have identified as important when looking to hire an attorney.
  • It’s as simple as counting to 10. Ratings fall on a scale of 1 (Extreme Caution) to 10 (Superb), helping you quickly assess a lawyer’s background based on our rating.

The Avvo Rating is based only on the information we have collected and that the attorney has provided, so we don’t recommend the Avvo Rating as the only piece of information you use to evaluate whether an attorney is right for you. The rating is a tool that provides a snapshot assessment of a lawyer’s background, and should be considered alongside other information such as client reviews and peer endorsements.
