Unrealistic

We went to court twice, once to meet the mediator (4 hours) and once to sign divorce papers (2 hours). She said she would have my ex pay attorney fees, but didn't. Was supposed to file for another aspect of the case, and never did. She never did a discovery, I gave her everything she needed. S...he has charged unreasonable and excessive fees that do not make any sense considering she didn't do anything. She is a weak representative, and if you're looking for someone who will actually fight for you, this is not the attorney for you. However, if you want an attorney who merely show up, and does nothing, hire her. She was trying so hard to make our divorce go to trial that she never even tried to negotiate with my ex's attorney.

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.
