Knowledgable Employment Lawyer

I rated Ms. Jones excellent because she has provided prompt and thorough responses to our requests for employment related issues/concerns. She explains information so that the non-legal person understands the response. She researches similar cases so that she can provide the thinking of the courts... and juries in their decision making as it relates to your issue. She returns your calls and emails quickly and gives you a comfort level that she will provide the best legal advice.

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.
