Hired Law Firm

After dealing with two other attorney Fortunately, my sister introduced me to this Firm, and I consider myself incredibly lucky , They truly listen to your concerns and treat you with respect and fairness, without any discrimination or double standards. Very fair in charging you. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Pavelich and the firm if you're in need of a reliable and trustworthy attorney. If I can give them 6 stars I would. Before finding the Spies and Pavelich firm. I went through a horrible stressful experience. I had to deal with two other attorneys in Cedar Rapids for my divorce against my vicious ex-husband, I ended up spending a significant amount of money. Unfortunately, both of the previous attorneys lacked loyalty and compassion towards my case. It was bad experience,but Mr pavelich got my case rescued before it gets too late.

Hired Law Firm

Joe Pavelish was a true beacon of hope to me at a time when my options appeared limited. There isn’t a day that goes by that I am not thankful to him for his handling of my case and I feel deeply indebted. He committed his talent and expertise to safeguard my future. I’m certain that my intense difficult situation would have frustrated most attorneys but Joe Pavelish demonstrated exceptional strength and nobility with his commitment to the highest ethical standard and fought for true justice.

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.
