Posted by Kenneth | April 01, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Help my me and my daughter

She did a good job for us she was vary good in the court room and she stad with it and got what I needed to get my daughter Ella bad situation I have a bad situation for my ex was with a child molester so yes I can not thank her enough for what you did

Posted by anonymous | July 30, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Well just say I didn’t feel confident

Now I will start by saying she was appointed to me by the courts. So I know “you get what you pay for” I was in jail for 9 months before I ever meet my attorney and I got enough probation you would think I killed someone. I don’t think she was very knowledgeable on the drug charges I was being charge...d with. And I had a very intimidating D.A. That I think she was scared of. maybe if I hired her she would have done better or more is a better word. She didn’t have the wit and confidence that I would want for my criminal defense attorney.

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.
