Successful child custody case

I think Sally is great. I was the type of client who wanted to be highly involved in my son's (quite complicated) custody case, and I think Sally was perfect for this. I found it very easy and productive to work with her. As a non-lawyer, it was hard for me to know what detail and issues were impo...rtant and what were not. Sally always listened to my many thoughts and opinions (no matter how obsessive I was about potentially minor details!), and I think working together like this was key to us ending up with a very successful outcome - an out-of-court custody agreement that I would have happily agreed to before the case started (my son's mother would definitely not have agreed to it before the case started!). Sally was also very easy to get ahold of, which I think is important because invariably time-sensitive issues will come up.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Sally always has her eye on what her clients truly need. Her focus on collaboration and problem solving is refreshing and well-needed in a field where parties can get entrenched in their positions and lose track of their goals. I absolutely endorse Sally."

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.
