She was perfect.

She was just what our family needed to get through a messy divorce. She is fair and she looks out for your best interest. We would never have gotten through everything that we did if it were not for her knowledgeable experience and advice. I prayed before we chose a lawyer and she was of course perf...ect.

Great resource

JJ took care of our wills and got us covered in the event of an untimely death

A real Professional

Miss JJ was very thoughtful in her consideration of my case. She is very very smart and knows all the right things to do to get a criminal case resolved in the best way for her client. I would call her and tell everyone I know to call her on any criminal case ever.

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.
