Knowledgeable and Dedicated

I highly recommend Selby. She is well-versed in her field and genuinely cares for her clients. She goes above and beyond to ensure her work is of the highest quality.

Living Trust

Selby took my old Living Trust and updated it and put in specific instructions on how I wanted my estate to be handled. She was very efficient and knowledgeable. I would recommend her to anyone needing her expertise.

Will and Power of Attorney

Selby drew up a will and power of attorney for us and did an amazing job. She was very thorough and got it done quickly. She was great to work with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for these services.

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.
