Posted by Liz | May 24, 2010 | Slip and Fall Accident

Succeeded where others failed!

Pam did a FANTASTIC job with my case! I went thru 3 lawyers before retaining Pam to handle my slip and fall - a case that seemed very cut-and-dried to me: I broke my foot in two places (narrowly avoiding surgery and 6 mos. of complete immobility) slipping on cracked tiles in my apt. bldg. causing me... medical expenses and other financial and emotional issues. The other 3 attorneys I had prior to Pam were in turns irresponsive (to both me and the insurance company), unmotivated and/or slip-shod, each "new" attorney made me feel like my case didn't matter at all - adding much unwanted frustration to my situation, not to mention by their extreme lagging this dragged almost to the end of the statute of limitations and I risked losing my chance to recover anything, and not one of them seemed to care. Pam dug into the mess these others had made of my case, contacted the right people, and worked it quickly and within a few weeks we had satisfaction! She's a very talented and resourceful attorney, and I will definitely retain her again!

Greatly helped me with some questions on tenant policy.

I was a client of Ms. Wilson's and was in a situation where I needed help with some tenant policy. She helped me greatly, answered all my questions, was easy to get ahold of, and gave me great advice on how to proceed with my problem. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

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.
