Very skilled lawyer

Attorney Starr was extremely professional, tenacious and successful in dealing with complicated Medicaid and planning issues on behalf of both of my parents during their period of rapidly declining health. It was a difficult and emotional time for our family and Attorney Starr’s ability to calmly and... clearly explain and handle the legal issues made a hard situation easier. Her skill and experience make her someone I highly recommend.

Great Lawyer

When I turned 62 I consulted Attorney Emily Starr for advice about estate and retirement planning. I found her to be very knowledgeable and direct. Among other things her advice allowed me to maximize my Social Security. Without her help I would have lost thousands of dollars of available benefits. ...I highly recommend Atty Starr.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
