Not Good At Dialogue

Esquire Drury did my divorce no favors. I believe that dialogue is important in conflicts. Esquire Drury is theopposite of dialogue; in my opinion she goes too far the other way and one asks why. A personal agenda or to drum up fees? Not everyone out there is unscrupulous. Isn’t it better to seek rea...son rather than obstructing any real progress or communication with unpleasant accusations not based on fact? I would say she practices a form of theater which becomes excessive in Massachusetts that is a no fault divorce state.

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.
