This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Above and beyond.

I retained Missy at the recommendation of a friend. Best thing I ever did. Missy went to bat for me above and beyond anything I could have dreamed of. I had been in a wreck and originally had not planned on retaining an Attorney. Within an hour of retaining her I was being taken care of like I was fa...mily. If I ever need an Attorney again I know the first person I'll call. Missy and her staff are professional and kind and you just feel how much they care about you. If you ever need an Attorney look no further than Mamma Justice!

Lawyer

She has helped me on several different matters. She kept me informed about my cases throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend Mama Justice to take care of your legal needs.

Awesome Attorney

Missy helped me at a time in my life when things were not going too well! She understood my circumstances and worked hard so the judge would understand as well. I felt as though I was family and she treated like a sister!!

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.
