Passionate and Professional

Ms. Banks is currently litigating a business matter for me. She quickly learned the details and issues of this complex case and, when necessary, has argued through various motions passionately and competently. With Ms Banks, I feel this matter is in competent hands and I look forward to a speedy and... just resolution.

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.
