Rennie is the best!

We came to Rennie out of Casper to help us with a custody issue! She listened, she cared and she got everything accomplished that we asked on a very professional level. Anyone needing a good family lawyer, I highly recommend Rennie!

Professional and Passionate

I would highly recommend Rennie Polidora! Over the last two years during our child custody battle, Ms. Polidora was the epitome of professionalism; She made sure our needs and values were always respected. She is always courteous, prepared, and worked diligently for our case. Ms. Polidora was always ...available to communicate with us. Our case is now closed with a great outcome thanks to her hard work, dedication and passion. If any further issues arise, I know exactly who I’m calling.

Peace of mind

Rennie was great at especially being thorough with “grey” areas of the adoption she did for us. I highly recommend her, she makes sure she knows what can go on and let’s her clients know that. When she meets with us, I don’t feel rushed even though I know how busy she is.

Client-Oriented

Rennie was willing to give me a very in depth consultation at no charge, and offered constructive feedback and presented my options. Rennie gave me some advice, and did not expect an obligation to hire her. Rennie is the first attorney I have spoken with that took the time to review my documents and ...evaluate my situation. I feel that Rennie's dedication to her career stands out.

Thanks so much! I am always happy to help families, and that may or may not require legal intervention.

Highly Recommend!

Mrs. Polidora and everyone at the firm is amazing to work with! My husband and I hired Mrs. Polidora for his child custody case. She worked extremely hard and was very prepared for any hiccups that occurred along the way. She understands the struggles and nerves her clients face when dealing with c...ustody cases. Mrs. Polidora is very honest with expectations, and upholds integrity for all parties associated with the case. We can not thank her enough for everything she has done for us.

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.
