Excellent attorney and mediator

I have had legal matters and litigation with Ms. Atlass and she was exceptionally effective on behalf of her clients, as well as highly professional. I recently used her services as a mediator, and she resolved the prototypical unsettleable case gainst all odds. She demonstarted an unusual level of... insight into the issues and the personalities of the parties, she was upbeat and easy to work with, and she stayed until late in the evening in order to get the job done. I have added her to my short list of preferred mediators for complex litigation matters.

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.
