Grant/program coordinator

Ava, has been with my case since two years now. It’s a difficult case being the dad doesn’t not want relocation to take place. However, due the certain unamicable things, diagnosis, relationship building with dad; it’s a double edged sword. I am comfortable she will prevail with her knowledge and ex...pertise with child custody. Ava did care and advocates diligently for your concerns and case!i think she is the best !

Excellent Representation

Not all diamonds are forever. And if things get ugly, you'll find yourself like me - trying to navigate a court system steeped in dysfunction, racism and unconscious bias. A place where cases seem to be adjudicated by fiat. The fact is we are not represented equally and it's on you to find excel...lent counsel. Ava has the reputation (she's a fighter), recency (she knows all the players) and the experience (30+ yrs) to successfully represent you. An institution is only as good as the people who work within it and Ava excels where others fail. The system works when you hire competent, ethical counsel. You wanna win? Hire Ava.

Bronx best family Attorney!!

Hands down the best child custody attorney! Compassionate, caring and years of experience. She made our family feel at ease with her leading the charge in our granddaughter’s child custody case. With years of experience and passion for children’s rights she has made our family feel that she was not o...nly the right choice but the best!

Wealth of knowledge

Ava was very supportive and full of experience. There wasn't a question she couldn't answer or problem she didn't see a practical solution to. She was very easy to reach throughout my case by email, quick to respond. I would recommend her to everyone. I was going through multiple, yes, multiple custo...dy/child support cases and with Ava's experience and concern, it doesn't get much better then her. She is at the top of her league.

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.
