Great lawyer

Great lawyer. She helped my son with a criminal issue. She knew what she was doing, she always explained everything, was always on time for court, and was very compassionate. She was able to resolve his case in a favorable way.

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.
