Posted by anonymous | March 04, 2014 | Divorce & Separation

Assertive and intelligent but my ex still had control.

Dynamo in the courtroom. Experienced trial attorney...however I felt I had very little control with my divorce and was not happy with final result. Two and only things I wanted in divorce I did not get. I wish I had went to someone in a smaller firm with less of a caseload.

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.
