The best of the best

I found Miss Okoronkwo through a website sometimes in 2009 while looking for an attorney to represent me against my employer for back wages issues. I saw her outstanding rating from other clients but was little nervous and once i met her in person in her office, i was impressed by her knowledge and p...rofessionalism. Not only her rates are reasonable but she was dedicated to my case and very respectful and understanding throughout the process; i felt that she was providing me a service rather than doing me a simple favor. Couples month later, i won the case not only against my employer but also against the owner of the company. After that i recommended two friends of mine for whom she won both cases. I would definitely recommended her services for anyone up there whos is looking for a sharp, professional, loyal and dedicated lawyer... Miss Okoronkwo thank you for changing my life as i will be forever grateful for your services.

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.
