Divorce Case

Attorney Ogor is well learned in her area of expertise. She’s very direct and straightforward, she advised me on the way to go on my case. I hired her, she helped me with converting my annulment to a divorce. And I wanted it quick just to move on with my life. She displayed professionalism during the... court hearing and my divorce was approved.

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.
