Hired Attorney Jay Christofferson

I was referred to Jay and he was able to give me insight on my specific situation for potential Civil matter. I was impressed on the thoroughness of knowledge including timelines and other factors in law that could arise. I appreciate the honesty and the expert advice. I definitely recommend this lawyer.

Hired Attorney Jay Christofferson

Jay Christofferson proved himself to be an exceptionally talented and effective attorney in litigation that had become multifaceted, convoluted, and very contentious involving Probate; specifically, the breach of fiduciary duties of the trustee. Against all odds, a tag-team of three attorney's from three different law offices were retained by the trustee, all of which were committed and determined to protect, defend, and shield their client from wrongdoing. The agreeable outcome that we achieved relied on the following qualities and attributes: Jay's exceptional listening skills that provided a full and complete understanding of the issues and narrative -- vital in the comprehension of available information. Jay's highly effective communication skills, both verbal and written, provided highly responsive and timely interactions b/w all parties, myself, opposing counsel, and the court. This case was about a fair and equitable compromise and agreeable settlement, and we accomplished that.

Mr. Christofferson was very efficient and professional in handing my inquiry about my car accident. I received more than I was expecting and I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. Mel Kleinveldt-Lewis

Hired Attorney Jay Christofferson

Mr. Christofferson is the best lawyer you’ll find in Fresno. Extremely knowledgeable, committed, objective and yet outstandingly polite and ethical. He helped my family and I through the hardest time of our lives and got us the so expected positive outcome.

Hired Attorney Jay Christofferson

I don’t recommend Jay if you are looking for someone who really values you as a client and a person. Unfortunately, Jay’s lack of ownership and willingness to stand behind his work evolved into his lack of willingness to continue representing my family.

Hired Attorney Jay Christofferson

Referred through ESP. He sounded very short, arrogant. He wasn't very helpful and wasted my 1 authorization for free consultation with EAP. I wouldn't recommend and wish I talked to someone different.

Hired Law Firm

I hired them for my divorce case. They will tell you whatever they can to get your retainer but when it comes time for your case there is no communication. They did not do anything I asked in regards to my case and the paralegal did not return my calls over half the time. Don't waste your money on these incompetent lawyers

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
