In-depth and complete!

I consulted Angela for my immigration case last month. Even though we are located in different countries and different time zones (Manila and New York), our session went very well. Angela provided in-depth analysis and thorough explanation of the scenarios available for my case. In the end, she provi...ded her sound recommendations. During my session with her, I felt her willingness and drive to help people with their concerns and problems. This trait is what great lawyers are made of.

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.
