Posted by Patty | February 15, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Trustworthy, Experienced, Fair

Divorce is miserable. Vince was someone I could trust, which is invaluable when navigating the confusing terrain of settlement agreements, court dates, and opposing attorneys. I felt confident that Vince made recommendations in my best interests, and those of my young daughter. He was willing to figh...t for me and I had the impression he (a) was well-known and well-respected in the industry and (b) personally cared about the outcome of my divorce. Vince was both professional and caring. He picked up the phone when I called or returned my calls right away. He was responsive to email. His invoices were clear and fair. I don't recommend divorce but, if you're in that boat, Vince is a great person to have on your side. Highly 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.
