Ann-Marie

Ann-Marie was always prepared,on time,planned ahead and anticipated potential problems. She made sure I was prepared by coaching me on processes and the personality of the opposing lawyer and what their tactics would be in deposition and in court. She gave me her cell phone number for questions or ...anxious moments. She knew the law,had great resources and didn't assume or guess at any point. Ann-Marie also had a great support staff in her paralegal and office. I would highly recommend her discrimination cases.

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.
