Simply Amazing

It seems that I did a terrible job at choosing a mother for my children, but it's hard to regret it since I ended up with two absolutely beautiful and amazing daughters. My children's mother refused to let me see my children during my established parenting time and while Dalma started to get things i...n order to file for contempt of court, my children's mother filed a bogus protection order, then a motion to modify my parental rights. Dalma and her partner James have been incredible in this ongoing case with their sound advice, knowledge of the law that has pulled me from a state of panic many times now, and their constant availability/communication, day or night. I'm very happy that Dalma turned up and that I moved forward with hiring her, regardless of what the outcome might be.

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.
