Very Knowledgeable

Gwendolyn is very knowledgeable in her areas of expertise and will go the distance to assist her clients. She has the intestinal fortitude to go the extra distance and is always honest. She has her clients best interest. I would recommend Gwendolyn for individuals looking for someone to not only walk... them through the process but effectively communicate with them.

Christopher

Gwendolyn provided excellent prompt and on point advice. She allowed me to find the path I needed to follow with out pressure, and supported the decision I finally made. She is an excellent advocate for her clients, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to others, or request her service for any... legal issue(s).

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.
