Competent, compassionate, effective attorney

I was fortunate enough to have been connected to Ms. Avila through a friend who highly recommended her to me. I could not have been more fortunate; Ms. Avila is a fantastic attorney. She has an incredible knowledge of the law, which she uses to get things done efficiently and effectively. She also ...explained the process and answered all of my questions with patience and compassion. Ms. Avila assessed my case and was straightforward with me, which I liked. She is sensible and fair and won’t make recommendations for actions just to charge you more fees. I would highly recommend Ms. Avila if you want results.

Failed to comply with client

Ms. Avila assured my civil case would be taken care of. Ms. Avila assured I would be kept informed. After Ms. Avila was paid, I received an email from Ms. Avila stating she is abandoning the case. Ms. Avila never provided an explanation. Ms. Avila never spoke over the phone. Ms. Avila did not leave a...ny voicemails. Ms. Avila did not prepare any work for the case. Ms. Avila did nothing. Ms. Avila has failed to comply with her client.

She is the best!!

Ms. Avila has been my attorney for over 10 years since my divorce started. Though my divorce has been final since 2003, I needed Ms. Avila throughout the years. She has been very patient with me especially with an ex husband like mine. He is a serial court junkie and takes me in for any little thing... but she is patient with me and helps me deal with my situation. She is very patient and compassionate with her clients. She is always prepared to fight the battle with you. She responds in a timely matter and always willing to answer my questions. She is also very reasonable with her fees. I am always sending her clients her way.

Do not hire this lawyer

Does not come to court prepared and for what she charged I am out of a lot of money for nothing.
