Painless and east

I came across an ad for this law firm. I was a bit hesitant to try them but so glad I did. They were friendly and made the divorce easy. The process was a breeze. I’d recommend them to anyone.

Hands free stress free

Being in the military and trying to get a divorce is time consuming and worrisome due to all the paperwork, but i didn't have to do anything but fill out my own information and sign a paper. Is was so easy and i highly recommend using this lawyer.

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.
