Hired Attorney H. Johnson

Wendell handled a very unusual case for me. His grasp of the issue was and his ability to think outside of the box is what led to a satisfactory conclusion.

Hired Attorney H. Johnson

Wendell handled a very complicated right-of-way project for me that involved hundreds of properties and hundreds of home owners through which this right-of-way was required.
He's also handled routine land transfers.
He's wise, professional, works quickly, efficiently and, most importantly, effectively. He's never let me down.
He's also very easy to work with.

Hired Attorney L. Graves

Used Page Graves for my motorcycle accident in 2007 and he told me that I shouldn't settle out with the insurance company because the extent of my injuries incase I have problems in the future because they would be still responsible. It's now 2024 and it's definitely caught up to me now and can barely make it through a 8hr day from all the pain and problems I have from the accident. Contacted Graves for him to tell me they won't respond to his letter and nothing I can do. Well YOU told me that they would be responsible for my medical related to the accident if I didn't settle and now he bails. Useless lying lawyer.

Hired Attorney Andrew Shotwell

Unresponsive, evasive answers, doesn’t fight for his clients, pads his bill by keeping cases going and going in the legal system for SEVERAL years! This is enough! My family members have had enough of his lack of resolving these bogus charges.

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
