A Godsend for me

When I inquired about filing divorce with local attorney's the minimum retainer they wanted was $750. There was no way I could afford that. I thought I would be stuck legally married to someone I wanted no parts of anymore. I felt like my life wasn't going to be my own ever again. It was so dishearte...ning. Then my son mentioned this law firm that was so affordable, so helpful and informative. I knew I couldn't go wrong and I didn't. It was affordable, easily done and so fast that I was amazed (so very happily of course!) I can't recommend him enough. Thanks to him setting up this website I could afford to take control of my life back and move on to happier times. Thank you so very much, from the bottom of my heart!

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.
