Timely, Accurate Advice

I endorse this lawyer. She provided a fast and clear response to an urgent copyright matter at my company. I appreciate outside counsel that can provide timely, useful advice, without all of the "legal jargon" and caveats. I need advice that I can pass on to my internal stakeholders without having to... translate it for non-lawyers to understand. This lawyer is intelligent, friendly and I feel confident her advice is accurate.

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.
