got exactly what I was looking for

Philip answered my question in detail, explaining that although I would be within my legal right to do what I wanted to do, the court would frown upon my actions,potentially making things more difficult for me in the long run. I appreciate the honesty and info, and will definitely reconsider my plan ...of action. Thank you!

Excellent post divorce advice

Atty Mason is very knowledgeable. His thorough review of my post divorce options helped me make educated decisions about my next step. Additionally, I appreciated his consideration of cost. He treated me with respect, listened to my concerns, gave me sound advice and all while being considerate of... my limited budget.

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.
