Amazing attorney that I couldn't recommend more!!

Gwen Carroll and her team did not have time to take my case on and yet spent hours looking at my case in order to help refer me to someone else, all for free. How often do you see an attorney go above and beyond for someone who is not even their client? She not only seems incredibly knowledgeable b...ut clearly caring as well, which is hard to find.

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.
