Posted by anonymous | November 10, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Alimony

Knowledgeable and Conscientious Family Lawyer

Marc represented me in a contested modification of the amounts that I pay in alimony and child support and I was very happy with the work he did for me. His knowledge of not just the relevant laws but also of how things usually work in the courts was invaluable as we negotiated an agreement.

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.
