Client

I hired attorney Paz to work on three separate cases. She worked tirelessly on each one never complaining of the volume of evidence I would bring to her or how much of her time was being consumed to understand each issue. I learned a long time ago many attorneys do not read all your evidence, she cer...tainly did and would arrive for court appearances, formal and informal hearings, depositions etc. fully prepared and aware of all aspects of the issues at hand. I had utilized her services for criminal cases, appellate briefs as well as civil cases. She never disappointed. Her staff and colleagues are all of the highest caliber as well so you get a full package. I doubt attorney Paz would work at any firm that did not deliver to her standards of work ethics, respect she demonstrates to you as her client and commitment to defending her clients case. I have encouraged my niece to become an attorney and emulate this womans' professional standards. I would hire recommend her and I am very difficult to satisfy and she did. I expected professionalism and Brittany delivered always.

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.
