Posted by Rachelle | March 21, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Debt Settlement

Divorce

I ended my marriage with a lot of debt and two vehicles under my name. Everyone told me I would just have to pay it myself and just deal with it. At that point I had no hope. I visited Stefanie Gonzalez for a consultation and she educated me on many things I had no idea that could help me with my sit...uation. She made it her mission to get me peace and justice. I am now happily divorced and everything was split 50/50! Stefanie, Michael, Maria, and Michelle are amazing! Not only did Stefanie help me get through one of my toughest endeavors but she embodied professionalism, care, and empathy. I am very thankful I had and will continue to have her as my lawyer.

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.
