Fantastic service from an amazing Attorney!

Virginia assisted me with a landlord-tenant issue. Dealing with landlords can be be a daunting task and having the right person in your corner is crucial. I could not speak more highly of Virginia’s knowledge and willingness to assist her client in any way she can. I would highly recommend Virginia! ...

Amazing Attorney

Virginia did our Estate Planning for my husband and I. She was very informative and helpful through the process. She was great to work with and I highly recommend her.

Outstanding!

Virginia helped me with my mother's guardianship which was difficult due to Medicaid rules, difficulty with the nursing home, and some "drama" from my extended family. She was able to provide prompt, compassionate and thoughtful advice along the way; her billing was clear and understandably. She's a ...good soul and a great attorney!

Friendly, fantastic, and approachable

Virginia was great! She assisted me through my estate planning which was a first for me. She explained the legal process very clearly and even made me feel so comfortable that I could ask questions I had wanted to ask but was afraid they were "dumb questions" :) She guided me through the process ...painlessly and I feel so much better knowing that I have a will and power of attorney documents taken care of for my future. Virginia was warm, communicative, prompt and very professional! I will definitely hire Virginia again for any other legal needs I have.

Virginia handled real estate planning for me and drafted up my will. I found my experience to be excellent. She was very attentive to all my requests and was beyond helpful with all my questions. Very direct and professional!

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.
