Posted by Frannie | May 4, 2011

Dependable, stable and full of integrity.

I am a repeat client of Ms. Duesler. I am very impressed with her knowledge of the law and the procedures in different courts. I am also impressed with her fearless approach to less than moral opponents. She is detail oriented and has great ideas. She has integrity and helps me maintain my integr...ity while dealing with our high conflict situation. Ms. Duesler sees and understands my case and I believe she listens to me. She helps me keep my priorities straight and am I proud of what she's helped me accomplish in chambers, on the court house steps and in the court room. I highly recommend Ms. Duesler.

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.
