Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known and collaborated with Gail for several years and highly recommend her work. Gail’s experience, intelligence, and competence make her a powerful and effective advocate for her clients. She always gives the matters entrusted to her careful and thorough attention, and represents her clients with the highest degree of ethics. You will enjoy working with Gail, whether as her client or as her co-counsel."

Litigation lawyer | Nov 28

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Gail and I actually worked together as associates in the trial department at Baker Botts back in the 1980s, and I had a high regard for her then. But we recently found ourselves as new counsel on opposite sides of a complicated trade secrets/employment covenant lawsuit not long ago. As I had expected, Gail was a fierce and competent advocate for her client. But she also demonstrated the good judgment and creativity that distinguishes exceptional lawyers from merely good ones. We were able to work out a deal -- a reasonable settlement that accommodated both sides' needs and abilities -- that had eluded all of the previous counsel who had worked on the case. Much of the credit for that should go directly to Gail, and I recommend her with pleasure and without reservation."

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.
