Quick and responsive

Even though my divorce was no contest and for the most part amicable, this law office was great to work with. I found their fees affordable and it was much easier than me running back & forth to the courthouse in my area. Since my divorce was simple, it only took about 4-5 months for me to get it al...l wrapped up. Thanks for your work!

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.
