Easy to Talk To and Very Professional

I needed guidance on moving toward bankruptcy and what my options were. Ms. Curtis was an enormous help. She put me at ease and offered some suggestions that ultimately helped me avoid what could have been a huge mess. As I move forward with my new business and success I will certainly always use... her and the firm again!

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.
