I thank God for leading me to Your office. Having to file bankruptcy was a hard and emotional journey. Thank you for walking with me and guiding me along the way. The encouragement and professional guidance given to me by Samantha Bazemore , along with your office willingness to answer any and all ...questions was a breath of fresh air. Thank you again for walking with me through this storm.

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.
