Amazing attorney

Alice is not only up to speed on case law and how the system works, but she is experienced in how to navigate the overall process. She represented me on a very contentious divorce case and kept me focused on the overall picture and what was best for the child involved. I greatly appreciated her hon...est assessment of issues and her candid feedback. She is very practical and will give you both sides of every argument which allowed me to be prepared for any outcome or defense tactic. She deeply cares about her clients and helping them through the divorce process. I would say that Alice is a full-service attorney and will see that all your needs are met or resolved as best as can be. She will stay focused on your needs and also excelled at focusing on the needs of my child. She would work with both my therapist, my child's therapist and the co-parenting adviser to make sure all parties were up to speed on developments and parenting guidelines. She also stayed on the opposing counsel to make sure deadlines were being met and that the process was progressing. She is not about wasting time or stalling. I really appreciated her timeliness and recognition of my budget. Above all else, Alice is very dedicated and truly cares about her clients and their needs. I highly recommend her and can't thank her enough for her 1.5 years of service on my 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.

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.
