Highly recommended

Margaret is currently handling my divorce case.  She's tough, compassionate, she knows what she's doing, she listens to you, and she fights like heck for you in the courtroom.

Great Staff

Alejandra works for Margaret and has always demonstrated an amazing work ethic. I work in the law field and every time I've seen Alejandra at the courthouse she seems professional and always on task. In my opinion behind every great attorney there is a great assistant! Keep up the amazing work.

Thank you for the help!

Margaret Washburn's firm recently assisted me with a family matter that had me on the defensive end of a contempt and modification I never saw coming. I want to thank Attorney Washburn and her staff for keeping me grounded and in the loop. The result was in my favor and I would recommend her office... to anyone overwhelmed who needs representation.

Decree Modification and Contempt issues

Margaret and her staff were always helpful and were communicative and stayed in contact with me through the whole issue. It was difficult at times, but ultimately, it was Margaret and her staff that pulled through. I had 2 lawyers before her that were just overbilling, and ineffective. I am so glad I... found Margaret and Scott Mitchell, who helped me through my case.

Very effective fighter & negotiator

Does great job. Attorneys and firm staff are very caring & diligent. I found their skills very effective and efficient targeted to be results oriented. Off course like any case both attorney and clients have to be on the same page & burden lies on both in my opinion only then good & fair outcomes can... be achieved.

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.
