Outstanding Lawyer!

Margaret did an outstanding job helping my husband  and me create our wills and get our estate plan in order. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly so we felt confident about our decisions. The process was straightforward, professional, and stress-...free—exactly what we needed. We’re so grateful for her expertise and genuine care. I highly recommend Margaret to anyone looking for a top-notch estate attorney!

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.
