Driving on Dui suspension

Kaitlyn was PHENOMENAL! Always received call backs expeditiously when I left voicemails, her attorney fees are quite reasonable, acquired the lesser charge I was looking for, her staff always got back to me if she was busy, pleasant to talk to, and the biggest sweetheart. I HIGHLY recommend Kaitlyn....

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.
