Posted by Dana | March 14, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Efficient, no nonsense lawyer.

When I first consulted Ms. Butler I was in a very vulnerable place being newly separated from my husband. She gave me sound advice and waited to take my case until I was ready. Once hired, this woman took her job seriously and got things done for me. Her paralegal is equally no nonsense and worked as... diligently as Ms. Butler. I strongly recommend this powerhouse team for any woman or man facing divorce. They will get the job done for you.

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.
