Amazing Professional Attorney

Lena is an amazing professional attorney that I have zero regrets about hiring. She is calm and levelheaded in an area of law that usually brings out strong, and often very negative, emotions. Lena helped guide me through a difficult divorce and at no point did she ever steer me or our case wro...ng. Her years of experience allowed her to handle a larger corporate style law firm easily and at no point did I doubt her abilities. I always felt I could talk to her about anything going on in my situation and would gently push back on ideas or directions that would not serve the overall interest or cost more money than would be saved. I greatly respect her ability to cut through strong emotions and provide positive feedback.

Fantastic divorce attorney

Lena was absolutely wonderful to work with! She gave great advice through my divorce process and was able to accomplish the agreement I was seeking on child custody arrangements. She made herself available during the process and after. I always felt comfortable reaching out for a quick question. I ha...ve recommended her to a friend who was very happy after working with her as well.

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.
