Simply a Blessing

Ms. Saunders helped me and my elderly mother in so many ways. My mother would have lost her home because of identity fraud if it had not been for Ms. Saunders refsual to give up on us. Ms. Saunders fought with the bank to make sure my mother did not lose her home and was not responsible for the $30...,000 mortgage taken out in her name. My mother still continues to be a victim of identity fraud but I can at least take comfort in the fact that Ms. Saunders will not abandon us to fight with collection agencies by ourselves. She selflessly makes sure my mother is taken care of and receives the services she needs as an elderly person. My health is very bad and I worry about what would happen to my mother if was no longer around. But my worries are a lot less because of Ms. Saunders. There is nothing I could give that would repay her for all she has done and continues to do out of the kindness of her heart.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Apr 11

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Camellia was opposing counsel on what could have been a difficult divorce case. However, we were able to work together to get a amicable resolution for both parties and in the most inexpensive way possible for the clients. It was great working with another attorney that wanted to do what was best for their client without a lot of the unnecessary steps and expense of a contested divorce. Great to work with and against. Very knowledgeable in her areas of practice."

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.
