Awesome!!

I filed my divorce on May 23,2019 and it was final on June 21,2019 (uncontested). I paid the extra amount to have it done in 4 weeks and it was!! I would reccomend them to anyone wanting to do an uncontested divorce. Very easy to follow the steps they email you!. Glad it over now and can go on my li...fe. Very easy and when I emailed them they got right back to me the same day! Great place! Thank you so much!

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.
