This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

She’s disgusting

All she cares about is trying to make a name for herself. She doesn’t care if she represents someone she knows 100% in her heart is guilty as long as she gets paid. God help her.

Excellent lawyer

I was allegedly pulled over for an unsafe lane deviation, and subsequent OWI. I knew I had not deviated from lane. I called the law firm of Kim & Lavoy, who subsequently set me up with Bridget. She was straight-forward and honest, and knew how to attack this case. After reviewing the evidence, we... filed a motion to suppress evidence, due to an illegal stop. At the motion hearing, Bridget did a great job on the cross-examination. The officer was very shaky with his testimony, and the video clearly showed no violation. All charges were dismissed. Her knowledge on the OWI law is top notch. I will definitely recommend her to anyone who was in my position.

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.
