This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very helpful.

Ms. Wasma was very helpful in advising me on estate matters for Arizona (I am an out of state resident). Additionally, conferencing with her over the phone was easily arranged by her staff.

Very satisified!

Pamela Walsma did an excellent job on my case! She kept me in the loop every step of the way and was able to settle out of Court! She never kept me waiting. Very professional and she knows the law...I would highly recommend her!

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.
