Department of Education Teacher

I first consulted Ms. Jalila Bell seeking legal advice in reference to a dispute I had with a contractor. Based off that advice, I hired Ms. Bell to help me resolve the issue, using the most efficient means possible. In reference to her service, Ms. Bell was attentive, knowledgeable and transparent... as the case progressed. Her calm but assertive confidence also provided me with the support I needed in heightened moments, when handling exchanges with the contractor. The case was resolved in the form of a settlement to prevent further escalation; reviewing the details and her advice, it was the best possible outcome. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with Ms. Jalila A. Bell’s handling of that dispute, I will definitely use her services again and I will continue to recommend her expert legal service to any one in need.

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.
