Great reliable lawyer

I was happy with her service, she was very honest with us about our case she wanted my husband to have his fingerprints ran in order to be sure we qualified for a possible positive outcome, before even taking on our case. After the fingerprints cleared she then was able to begin our process and we we...re quite happy with everything the process took time like expected but she was always willing to explain everything in detail and made sure we were all on the same page.

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.
