Best criminal defense attorney

I did hired her for my criminal cases, and she was able to get one of the felony case dismissed, and with other one I finally got misdemeanor deal from the state, all of this become possible due to her dedication and hard work. She actually got me my life back. I strongly recommend her services to an...yone stuck with criminal cases.

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.
