Quick divorce

I was nervous conducting an online divorce, but the company provides plenty of information about each step prior and during the process. There was always to contact with questions or concerns. The process was afforable, quick, simple and professional.

I found about this lawyer via google search when I was looking for an online divorce attorney. Decided to hire him. Followed the instructions on the website and the emails and the case was a success without any complications. So would recommend him to others. A quick overview of the how it all went d...own: I received the paperwork, signed the documents, sent them back, and received the results. Thanks

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.
