Excellent

Mrs Moss went above and beyond as my lawyer while handling my court case. She is personable, very knowledgable, and over all a caring and companionate person. These qualities are difficult to come across and very greatful that she was representing me.

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.
