This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Intelligent, tenacious, fair

Ms. Welborn has represented me in several pieces of litigation and there are not enough superlatives I could use to express both my pleasure and gratitude for the work she has done on my behalf. She is hard-nosed when she needs to be with opposing counsel but also brings a sense of calm reason to eve...ry situation in terms of managing expectations for what possible outcomes could be reached. She is willing to fight for her clients but not simply to build a file for her firm. She has consistently put the best interests of my company ahead of all else. Ms. Welborn methodically prepares for the cases she handles and has always developed a legal strategy that is both workable and works. In the end, if you find yourself in need of a litigator you want a pit bull that is savvy, compassionate, committed, intelligent and tenacious. Ms. Welborn is all of those things but, more importantly, she wins - which is never a bad thing.

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.
