Superb Knowledge of the Law

Ms. Weisenberger's knowledge and experience provided to be an asset to the case that I hired her for. She is very intelligent and can be aggressive when fighting for the rights of freedom of her client(s). Her tenacity to expose the truth resulted in a very satisfactory outcome in this case.

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.
