This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Client

Catherine Byers handled the probate for my mother’s estate, and did a superb job. She explained everything very clearly and answered all my questions. On the day we went to court everything went great. She knew the court clerks and the staff attorney - a good reflection on her. The judge accepte...d all the paperwork and I left that day with everything I needed. I strongly recommend her and her firm - Weisinger Law.

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.
