This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great lawyer!

This was my first time being hurt in a car accident and Ava was not only really helpful but she got me a much bigger settlement than I hoped for. She also arranged for transportation for my medical appointments and reminded me of them as well. This was so helpful for me not only as an injury victim... but as a busy mother of 3 small children. I really appreciate all of Ava’s help and she was a real pleasure to work with. I recommend her services to anyone who has been hurt in any kind of accident.

Thank you so much Nadine! I'm so glad I was able to help you, protect your interests, help you navigate through the system, and obtain a much larger settlement that you hoped for. Your kind words really made my day and you were a lovely, cooperative client, and a pleasure to work with.

Excellent experience working with Ava!

I had an excellent experience with Ava! I actually worked with her twice in both a slip in fall from years ago and a car accident more recently. She was able to get me much more than I expected and explained everything in an easy to understand manner. She is also excellent when it comes to responsive...ness and getting back to me on any questions or difficulties that I had dealing with the circumstances involved in my case. I am very happy that I chose to work with her, she is an absolute pleasure to speak with. I highly recommend her to anyone that would like to pursue a personal injury case.

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.
