Posted by Mike | March 29, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Very Knowledgale

Ms. Gunn is very knowledgeable and up to date on expungment proceedings. I saw her on Avvo and asked her a question about the process. She answered my question promptly and I hired her to handle my case when the time came several months later. We only had to meet 2 or 3 times, and I hardly had to ...do any work other than providing initial information. She made the process go smoothly and kept me informed from start to finish. It was a great relief to get my expungment passed so smoothly.

Real professional

M Foley was an extremely helpful and communicative legal counselor for me. I have no doubt that my case was made easier and quicker due to her skills and abilities as a communicator and a lawyer. I am absolutely satisfied that I came to her. I received invaluable information and advice concerning my ...case. I would highly recommend that anyone needing representation in the Galveston/Houston consider retaining her services.

Your Personal Attorney

Mrs. Foley is what I consider to be a "good attorney." She is very knowledgeable in the subject matter that she helped me with. She is always there readily available to answer any questions pertaining to the case. She timely returned my phone calls and kept me informed of the case progress. She is ...easy to talk with and seems to be a very understanding and genuine kindhearted soul. For all of this, I recommend Mrs. Foley's services to anyone in need of legal representation.

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.
