Quick and easy

I used this office because I wanted a cheap no contest divorce while also getting my name changed and the deed changed. It was an easy process. I filled out some questions, had the appropriate papers filles out and everything else was done for me. Very easy to do and it made the process bearable.

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.
