Posted by Derrick | May 20, 2015 | Violent Crime

Criminal Lawyer

She represented me as court appointed lawyer on trial because my family couldn't afford a hired attorney and I feel that she did way better than I would have thought a hired attorney to do. I was being charged with 1st degree Murder, however, Ms. Woods did everything in her power to prove my innocenc...e. Some unfavorable things happened during trial, but she continued to fight. At the end of an extensive trial, I was convicted of manslaughter. Ms. Woods was a very caring and attentive lawyer. I would strongly recommend her to anyone. She fought for me 'til the end.

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.
