Lisa

I am extremely satisfied with Suzan. She is my attorney for a modification of a divorce. She is compassionate, caring, and supportive. My concerns are addressed with understanding. The legal assistants are knowledgeable and helpful with the issues of my case.

Great Experience

The Ponder-Bates law firm represented us in a family adoption. Sarah Margulis at this firm did an excellent job, was very knowledgeable but also caring. Everything moved smoothly and she made sure it moved as quickly as possible while keeping us informed. Very refreshing.

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.
