Excellent legal support!

I hired Brenda to handle my recent divorce and had an excellent experience working with Brenda and her firm. The divorce had some financial complexities and also my spouse was representing herself which presented additional challenges. Brenda’s deft handling and caring approach toward resolving iss...ues with my spouse enabled the divorce to proceed uncontested, and Brenda then ensured that the final judgement was secured efficiently and with very little drama. Olivia and other support staff were also very helpful and easy to work with. I felt I had chosen wisely and would highly recommend Brenda and her firm to anyone in a similar situation.

Rioles Law review

Brenda and her team have helped me twice in my custody situation with my daughter. They where beyond excellent on both occasions. When I married my wife, the mother of my first child (never married) decided to take me to court. I walked away with a fair court order that provided me with more time wit...h my daughter than I had previously. 3 years later when my daughter's mother violated that court order Rioles Law was called upon again and things where set right. These experiences are stressful, Brenda and her team are thorough and on point. When questions come up they reply expediently and explain things in language that a person like me (who has no legal training) can understand. I have recommended them in the past and would certainly do it again.

Excellent

Brenda was very knowledgeable and successful in the handling of my divorce, child custody/support, distribution of assets and unexpected issues that happened along the way. I'm confident that her experience in all areas of divorce gave me the best outcome possible for my situation.

None

I had to hire Brenda to handle my divorce. Brenda handled it professionally and caring at the same time. Any time I had a question, Brenda was there to give me an answer! My sister had used Brenda for her divorce and recommended Brenda to me. I would recommend Brenda to anyone who needs legal consult...ation. Brenda truly cares about her clients!

Happy client

I hired Brenda for my divorce, which was kind of complicated, after having two previous attorneys on the case. She stayed on top of everything and finally got me divorced. I was also very happy with my settlement. Whenever I called or emailed her, she always responded in a very timely manner. I w...as very pleased with her services and would highly recommend her.

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.
