Awards & Recognition

Christopher J. Flann — Avvo Clients’ Choice Award, 2018

Avvo’s Clients’ Choice Award is earned by attorneys who receive a sustained high volume of positive client reviews. It is the clients who decide — not Avvo.

A Note About Yelp

Our Yelp listing shows 9 recommended reviews. We also have 58 additional client reviews that Yelp’s automated system has filtered as “not recommended.” This is not unique to us — Yelp’s algorithm routinely filters reviews from first-time or infrequent Yelp users, regardless of whether those reviews are genuine.

You can read our filtered reviews by scrolling to the very bottom of our Yelp page and clicking “not currently recommended.” We believe those are real clients with real experiences. We let you decide.

For a full explanation of how Yelp’s filtering works and how to evaluate reviews across all platforms, see our guide: How to Read Immigration Lawyer Reviews →

Ready to Work With Us?

Our 313+ clients across Google, Avvo, Facebook, and Yelp trusted us with their most important goals — family, career, and a life in the United States. We would be glad to help you too.
