Amazing

This woman is a bulldog in the courtroom. I had IL state try take my license twice after I plead guilty because lack of courtroom knowledge,she went in and clear it all up and got everything straight. Amazing! I also referred a friend to her that had a outstanding traffic warrant for about 3yrs I bel...ieve and she went in and cleared that up!

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.
