Comprehensive service;

I retained Ms. Lescott to help me with a minor criminal traffic violation. From our initial consultation until the case's resolve, Ms. Lescott was with me every step of the way. Not only did she successfully argue my case, she treated me with the utmost professionalism and care. I highly recommend At...torney Lescott to anyone who is concerned about a criminal charge.

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.
