Do use her.

She never kept me informed on anything happening in my case. I was supposed to receive a settlement from my divorce which I've still yet to receive. Every time I have called and left messages with her I never got call backs. She will only answer my phone calls when I call from different numbers other... than my own. She also passes the blame on to other people as to why I haven't received my money. My children and I are supposed to be moving out of the house I shared with my ex at the end of this month. We are counting on that money to put down on a new house. My case was a domestic violence case to start and now I have no choice but to be at the mercy of my abuser and hope he shows me compassion and won't kick me out on the streets. Which he has ever right to do per our agreement.

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.
