Posted by Peter | October 04, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Fantastic service

I used Ms Reiser for a traffic infraction and she was fantastic, Got the fine reduced and no points or DMV notification. Very professional and great communication. Highly recommend

Posted by doug | November 20, 2012 | Criminal Defense

great lawyer

She is smart, attentive and a good listener. She has tons of experience in jury trials and she is well respected by both judges and prosecutors. She shows confidence in court and communicates clearly. I would hire her to represent me or my loved ones in any criminal matter.

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 08

Relationship: Co-worker

"When I found out that Ms. Reiser was leaving the Prosecutors Office after 17 years, I realized the loss that their office would feel. I immediately started working on having her work with me. She is an incredible attorney, with more experience than most any attorney you will find. Her experience as a Prosecutor helps her to see the weaknesses in every case. Her relationships attained over the years will serve to put her clients in the best position possible. I completely endorse this lawyer."

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.
