some negative surprises

Barb represented me in my amicable divorce. I hired her on the recommendation of two friends, one of whom retained her for her divorce and was very satisfied. Barb is thoughtful and caring and her rates are reasonable. However during mediation I had a couple of negative surprises. Without going i...nto too much detail, I had a couple understandings about the scope of child support and alimony that I might receive (my ex makes much more money than I do) that turned out to be wrong, all with negative consequences for me. At the end of the day I believe our settlement was fair, but at the time it was a negative surprise, which is a problem. Again, on balance things came out fine. I put that I would not recommend her because I have been asked in the past and have not done so, however I have another issue coming up and will use her to resolve it so obviously I am not entirely displeased.

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.
