She is a Tiger, She knows what she is doing and does not fool around and sugar coats it

I have been using her for 3 years for a custody and divorce. She is point blank and does not sugar coat things for you. She will go out for blood and pull all the stops to get what she wants. You can trust her and follow what she says, you do this and you will most likely get what you want if she ...says she can do it she probally can

very rude and quick to confront

After speaking to this attorney for approx. 15 mins, all the while thinking the conversation was going well enough to lead to representation, she quickly cut me off and became rude and confrontational. Her words moved me from wanting to hire her to being hung up on! Very confrontational under the gui...se of "telling it like it is" even when in agreement. Not recommended.

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.
