Smart, Competent, Excellent Service

Phyllis Mintz did an excellent job drawing up my mother's will. She advised me, as well, in regard to my own personal legal questions. Her fees were fair, and she delivered what she promised on time, and extremely competently. She was available for my family during a very stressful time and made ...us feel comfortable and reassured with her knowledge.

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.
