Don't do it

If I could give Michele less than one star, I would. Never took notes or remembered what I said, completely unresponsive, totally full of herself, let opposing counsel walk all over her, did not advocate for me in any way--and the consequences in my case could not be undone. When I left her for anot...her atty, she ignored multiple requests from my new atty for notes and other info about my case.

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.
