Posted by Raymond | February 09, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

A horrible time in my life

I unfortunately had a custody battle that went on for a long time, and really took a toll on me emotionally and financially. One of the most important aspects to my survival through this hard time was having Mrs. Miles as my attorney. Mrs. Miles fought a hard fight for me that went to trial, and e...ven appeals court. Through the whole term oil I knew I had excellent representation in and out of the court room. I couldn't be any more satisfied with the whole experience in working with Mrs. Miles, and of course Marnie her paralegal. TOP NOTCH !!

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.
