Mr. Avery came to my law school and gave a speech in a Bankruptcy class and I have to say it was amazing. My bankruptcy professor who is on e of the best in California spoke very highly of him and when he came and talked about Bankruptcy the entire class was mesmerized. I would love to work with Mr. Avery after passing the BAR.
