Posted by Johnny | September 11, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Alimony

Successful Alimony case

I'm so happy to have chosen Gwen Cryer to represent me in my Alimony case. She made sure we were well prepared and kept me up to date with everything. Her knowledge, intelligence, calmness and strong presence in court made all the difference to making my case successful. I highly recommend Gwen Crye...r to anyone who needs representation. Thank you Gwen for everything!

Justice

Ms Cryer took my case to trial and I got justice, what was right for my kids. The judge ruled like I had hoped she would with my case. It was due to Ms. Cryer. She worked hard, prepared me for trial so I knew what to expect, gathered all my evidence and met with my witnesses so we could present the b...est 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. 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.
