Ms Middleton is simply amazing!

I cannot say enough positive things about Ms Middleton. I hired her to represent my mom with her bankruptcy. My mom was scared, but she made her feel like she was in competent hands. Ms. Middleton is professional, knowledgeable, and prompt. She is so organized that she makes the experience seem ef...fortless. I highly recommend her, and would absolutely hire her again if I needed her for myself.

Excellent job

My first bankruptcy filling and it was a pleasant experience, as far as retaining a reliable attorney goes. Ms. Middleton was always professional and very knowledgeable about the process. She'll be a great choice for handling your most personal information.

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.
