Posted by Larry | February 05, 2015 | Alimony

Expectations Exceeded

After an extremely enlightening and beneficial initial consultation with Attorney Carrin Porras, the firm was retained to modify existing Alimony and Qualified Domestic Relation Order Agreements. Ms. Porras has a style that helped me quickly feel comfortable with and confident in her ability to meet... my legal needs. Throughout the entire process leading to the Agreements being filed with the courts, both Ms. Porras and her able assistant, Henri Allen, consistently exceeded my expectations. I was impressed with how courteous, cooperative, responsive and professional they were. Most importantly, after some great coaching and guidance from Ms. Porras—both tough and gentle as needed—the bottom line successful results were achieved.

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.
