Beyond my expectations.

Lynn Alderman has represented me 4X in both criminal and family matters. I'm so glad I ditched the public defender and hired a great lawyer. She got my life back for me. She brought my children home to me from my Ex. She was fearless in the courtroom. Her staff was great. I hope I never have to go... to court again, but if I do I'm hiring Lynn. She's the best!

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.
