Don't use her

I spent $20K on an atty who did nothing for my cause. spend yur money on someone cheaper. recommended by a friend and lost everything. She should've been reported to the Bar.

Excellent

Atty Pillow is very skilled, knowledgeable, and compassionate in everything she does. She has helped me with my case and consulted, counseled and consoled me throughout the process. I am blessed to have her as an attorney and am very thankful that she has dedicated her time, skills and knowledge to m...y case.

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.
