Restored Faith in Attorneys

Prior to "finding" Brenda Fishbein, I had gone to 3 other attorneys who made such serious mistakes in managing my legal issues, that it literally cost me tens of thousands of dollars. I only wish I had known about AVVO prior to retaining them. Finally Brenda Fishbein came into my life. She deftly ...and swiftly sorted out my legal morass and provided the guidance and support I so desperately needed. Brenda is level-headed, open, honest, and supportive. She gave excellent, sound legal advice and direction, and helped me navigate through a difficult and complicated legal situation. The stress and emotional toll experienced during a legal crisis is enormous, and I don't think I could have survived it without Brenda's help. Brenda is everything a person could want in an attorney. She is a solid and ethical professional. If I have future legal issues, I would not hesitate to retain Brenda again. I highly recommend her. As a side note, Brenda is warm and caring and she has great sense of humor. I actually enjoyed my association with her and looked forward to seeing her despite the seriousness of my legal problems. We have to trust our attorneys and have faith in them the same way we have to put our trust and faith in doctors. I was let down by 3 other attorneys. Brenda restored my faith in the profession. I will always be grateful. If you have a legal issue, go to her website to see if it falls under her areas of practice. If it does, she is the attorney to see!

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.
