This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Divorce Consultation

I had a consultation with Livia while I was figuring out if I needed an attorney. She was compassionate and reassuring as we talked about my situation. She set expectations as I laid out things I wanted and was clear on what a possible outcome would be like. I really appreciated her candor and humor.... Her staff was also quite friendly.

Exactly What I Needed

I didn’t know where to start when I needed to file for divorce. Livia explained everything to me, guided me, but respected when I wanted to make my own decisions. She took a vested interest in what was best for me and my children.

Excellent

I would’ve been able to do it without you thank you so much this was a long road and I feel like I made the best possible decision by hiring you. Thanks again

Too many errors and inexperienced

This attorney and their law firm caused too many mistakes in my family case, incorrect motions and petitions filed, made errors and mistakes in those filed motions and petitions. This attorney's communication is difficult and will leave you confused during conversations. Leaves a lot to be desired of... law knowledge, attorney didn't get very far in my case as they had to go back and fix many things.

I unfortunately do not know who you are, and am unaware of a case where my team made such errors. As client satisfaction and loyalty are very important to me, I would have already reached out to you to address any concerns if I knew who you were. This is unfortunately the third time this same or similar "anonymous" review has been posted on my profile in the past year. If you are actually a former client, please afford me the opportunity to address your concerns by calling me at 561-515-5655 as soon as possible. I look forward to hopefully speaking with you. Thank you.

Brilliant Attorney

Very grateful for her prompt and courteous service. Made me feel like she always had my back regarding my case. She is a brilliant divorce attorney who knows the Law. Her expert advice was always point on and she is fearless in the Court room. Her communication skills are professional a...nd she doesn't waste time. Direct and to the point and more than capable of getting the job done! She has an amazing team surrounding her and you are informed every step of the way. You won't be disappointed, this lady is a class act who I commend and respect, and my case is still not over. Very grateful I have her in my corner! BRAVO! Victoria

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.
