Top rated attorney

Melissa handled my divorce for me. She was the ultimate professional in the way she handled my case. She kept me informed on what expect and the proper way to do things. She also did not make any unnecessary contacts with me which saved me some money during this difficult time for me. She is an... excellent attorney and a great example how an attorney should conduct business. Thank you, Melissa

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.
