Very effective and easy to work with

Dustin handled a custody matter for me and he was very effective. I used to live in Texas and am now out of state and my other lawyer decided to not take the case. With very late notice, Dustin spent the entire weekend preparing the motions to file. After they were filed, the case was dropped by my e...x. Dustin then went back to court and we even had the judge order that my legal fees be paid. I highly recommend Dustin as an attorney. He was very responsive to all of my questions and very effective.

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.
