Family law client

I consider myself lucky to have found such a compassionate, understanding and knowledgeable attorney! She took the time during her busy day to help me with some "marital drama" i was going thru at that time. and explained everyting to me very clearly before we went into court. I highly recommend Joan... Stohl to anyone who is needing a well spoken and caring attorney.

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.
