Five Years of Incredible Support and Results

I can’t thank Ms. Mason enough for everything she’s done for me and my son. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients. When I first came to her, I wasn’t seeing my son at all. Over time, with her help, I went from weekends only to now having sole custody of him. I’ve been working with Ms. Ma...son for about 5 years, and she has always been there for me—just a phone call away. She’s answered my questions with patience, explained every step of the process clearly, and even taken calls or called me back on her days off. Her communication is excellent, and she is not only professional but also incredibly kind and supportive. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer for child custody or visitation. She’s truly one of the best!

Outstanding legal services

She has been my lawyer since my child was 6 months old- my daughter is now 5. She has stood by me and fought hard beyond her requirements. She is a very easy going person and is so easy to reach no matter the time or day! I will refer her to anyone who needs a lawyer for custody/ visitation. She’s no...t in it for the money, she really believes in fairness and doing it for the right reasons.

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.
