Highly Recommend

Needing an attorney, a friend passed on her information. Without knowing how my case will unfold, I will still undoubtedly recommend her. Having felt buried, now I do not. She's fascinating in her ability to respond so quickly with exactly what needs to be said yet delivering it with a dose of subtle... kindness, in the right time. She's always profession, firm (exclamation point) and impressive. And, extremely likable, in an interesting way. I couldn't have found a better attorney and feel completely secure in her ability to defend my case.

Grace Weatherly's Review

From the first meeting Grace was always professional and I never doubted her ability. It really came to light during negotiations with the other party and their lawyers. She literally “ripped them a new one” when presenting my case. I can only say I was glad I wasn’t on the other end during that m...eeting! Her presentation of the facts and demeanor are what you want in an attorney. I would definitely recommend her.

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.
