Elder law lawyer | Oct 06

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Ms. Duris is one of the finest estate planning and elder law attorneys I have encountered. When I was working as a young associate in Ocala, I would often turn to her for advice on handling complex elder law or probate issues. Her expertise was invaluable, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs an attorney to help with estate planning or elder law issues, as well as probate or trust administration."

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.
