Auto Case

Carrie was a great lawyer to have for my auto case! She is very very aggressive about her job, and getting the case done! Carrie always kept me ''well'' informed about my case!. If I ever need a lawyer again, I certainly will be using Carrie, because I was really satisfied of how aggressive she is wi...th her job!! I also will be recommending her to anyone that ''needs'' a lawyer some day!!

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.
