Posted by Paulette | January 27, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Identity Theft

Exceptional Knowledge & Representation

The first time I saw Sylvia, she was on CSPAN speaking in front of a government agency about identity theft. It's a commonplace situation now, but it wasn't then. I was a victim of that crime and had been trying to deal with it for months. I was overwhelmed. Sylvia helped me put things right, protec...ted my credit reputation and advised me in a professional and knowledgeable manner. She's a great communicator, kept me well-informed and did an exceptional job with my case. I'll always be grateful for her hard work and expertise.

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.
