This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I Do Not Recommend

I made a mistake using him for my divorce. He gave me a ballpark number on what my spousal support should be, then didn't really fight for me at all. In fact, he seemed totally unprepared and caved under the pressure from my husband's extremely polished attorney. BUT the thing I find most unforgiv...able, is that he didn't even file the papers with Friend of the Court for the little bit of spousal support I was awarded, so I waited 4 months and had to go to Friend of the Court for help.

Outstanding!!!

Mr. Girdwood prepared a small estate plan for me at an exceptionally reasonable cost. My girlfriend also used him for a divorce, and she was very pleased with the results, and had referred me to him for my estate plan. I would definitely hire this lawyer again when I need something.

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.
