Integreity that passes all common sense

Based on my time with Ms. Weiner-Vatter she is well informed as to the working of family court. It appears she is well respected for her honesty, strong representation of the right and just.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Jolene and I represented co-defendants in a Federal Criminal matter. Bottom line up front, she was brilliant. She got a result for her client - who was charged with a particularly ugly offense - about which I am still amazed. Her ability to think outside of the box and approach a case in a unique manner benefits her clients. She is an excellent 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.
