Workers compensation lawyer | Dec 18

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I have had several cases with Coreen over the years and I have seen her give presentations at workers' compensation seminars. Coreen is smart, energetic and dedicated to doing an excellent job for her clients. Coreen has a special gift for fighting as hard as possible while at the same time being as pleasant as possible. I think this leads to good results for her clients."

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.
