Family lawyer | Jan 13

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Ms. Kaminsky is an extremely smart and sensible lawyer. Those two qualities are often mutually exclusive in lawyers. She knows how to successfully try a case, but understands that it is often in her client's best interest to come to a resolution before trial. I do not hesitate to call Ms. Kaminsky for advice whenever I have a matter that involves her family law expertise."

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.
