Lynn O

We hired Mindy to assist my Mom in getting her husband on Medicaid. When we hired Mindy we were faced with several challenges financially, emotionally and unknowns. She was very helpful through-out the process working above and beyond to get my step-dad on Medicaid. She continues to be very respon...sive to our questions.

Parents of Injured Son

My son was in an accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Mindy drew up a Special Needs trust for me and gave me excellent advise on how to qualify for Medicaid. I found her services very caring and professional. I would strongly recommend her.

extremely disappointed

Never use this Lawyer First meeting after we paid retainer she was over one hour late. Did not have us meet in her office, actually her office was less the five minutes to the Starbucks she designated for us to all meet. Very unprofessional. Only met once and the rest was mostly text and email. ...

kind and understanding

Mom has dementia but still has the clarity to have decided to amend her trust. We needed to do that in a way that would withstand challenge by disgruntled family members. Mindy was thoughtful, kind, understanding and professional, and helped us to achieve that end in a simple manner. I was happy w...ith her services and judge her to be a woman/attorney of integrity

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.
