Would not recommend

0/10 - Would not recommend. Ms. Sparrow showed up late and didn't seem to be prepared for our case. My abuser was caught dead to rights on a DVPO violation. When the subpoenas for security footage and witnesses went ignored (these were vital to proving what my abuser had done), Ms. Sparrow decided... to go forward with the hearing anyway. Needless to say, we lost. It feels like I paid Ms. Sparrow almost $6k just to empower my abuser. If your case is anything more serious than a parking ticket, I would strongly recommend you look elsewhere for representation.

Saved not only my license, but my job!

Ms. Sparrow did a fantastic job on my case and I am thankful. I have a CDL license and for me it is more than the right to drive from one place to another, it is my living. Rather than describe the aspects of the case I will just say that I had gotten into some trouble unintentionally with the p...olice and as sometimes happens, things we don't realize are as serious as they are, threaten are livelihood. Thankfully Ms. Sparrow did a wonderful job and saved my career by getting mycase voluntarily dismissed. Hopefully I won't ever run into a legal situation again, but I know to call her first if I need help again.

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.
