Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I was opposing counsel in a case against Ramona Chaplin in 2017. Even though it was a moderately high-conflict case with a child involved, Ramona did a superb job focusing on the welfare of the child and emphasizing the importance of a co-parenting relationship. I came away from this case impressed with her commitment to doing the right thing and suggesting actions that would best serve not only her client but the child -- which is one of the highest priorities a family lawyer should have. I have a great deal of respect for her and her practice."

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.
