Top Notch Lawyer

Very professional, kept me informed regarding the progress of the case. When the other party was not willing to negotiate, Ms. Costas found other options to help solve my case. I would highly recommend Ms. Costas to anyone. She would always respond to any phone calls or emails in less than a twent...y four hour period. One thing that really stood out to me was the fact that Ms. Costas would reply to me herself. And through the whole process Ms. Costas stayed upbeat and positive.

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.
