Posted by Jd | April 15, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Beyond grateful for her knowledge and professionalism

An absolute seamless interactions at every turn in the case with so much knowledge of how to take care of every angle of the case. Also she was so extremely helpful in making sure our children got the protection and safe home they deserve, she fought just as hard as we did and was willing to spend h...ours driving to Indy for many court dates. She has earned clients for life with any issues that we have in the future.

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.
