Posted by Barbara | January 09, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

wonderful and caring!

Several years ago, Barbara helped me through my divorce. Thanks to her kindness and negotiating skills, my exhusband and I managed to stay on friendly terms throughout the difficult separation process, and we remain on good friends to this day. A couple of weeks ago, I contacted Barbara to obtain a c...opy of my Judgement of Divorce. She was able to obtain this document for me almost immediately, and sent me both an email and mailed copy at no charge. I will be forever grateful for her help and kindness!

Professional, thorough, personable and supportive

I have rated Barbara as a 5, Excellent, and would recommend her to anyone seeking a collaborative and respectful way to move through the marital separation experience. Barbara was consistently responsive to questions, provided readily understandable answers, and conducted herself and our process in a... professional, respectful manner. Barbara was attentive to my concerns and clearly invested in the collaborative process, which allowed me to step back and be more objective about the process.

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.
