Hired Attorney Stephen Ariagno

Was my attorney for two criminal cases and won them both. Very professional and worked very hard for his very reasonable fees. Returns phone calls and well documents his efforts, effectively keeping me informed, even while in custody. Thank you Mr. Ariagno

Hired Attorney Mr. Kurt Kerns

If you need criminal defense lawyer, you would be doing yourself a disservice not to choose Kurt P. Kerns. He represented my bf in one of the biggest federal cases in the Northern District of Oklahoma. My bf faced 30 years to life in federal prison. Kurt told me that we may lose some battles but would "kick a$$ and win the war"...HE DELIVERED! My bf, with the support of Kurt and Ian, took on the federal gov't in trial and WON!! Kurt is indeed the type of attorney you need. Thanks, Kurt!

Hired Attorney Mr. Steven Mank

Steve mank was a horrible lawyer, he claimed to be there for client but wouldn't even fight for him my brother was washed down the river because it was easier I will never completely understand the legal system but when the prosecutor says he may not be guilty of this but he guilty of something as a attorney that should have made him want to fight now my brother is in jail for something he didn't do, I would never hire this firm...

Hired Attorney Mr. Steven Mank

If you value your money and freedom do not hire Steve Mank. Mr Mank hardly ever communicated with his client despite pleas to reach out and keep him informed of his case. He showed up to court disheveled and after sentencing once again was not reachable by phone, email ANYTHING. We missed the time frame for an appeal because of his complete disregard and now have had to have a third party from DC come in to review all communication from him in regards to appealing the sentence. He is not cheap

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.
