Professional Feedback Review of Legal Services Client Engagement Summary

An engagement agreement was executed at the outset, which provided some initial clarity around representation. Communication during the course of the engagement was inconsistent, and at times unclear, which created confusion and concern for me as a client. I do not wish to elaborate further, as re...visiting the experience is not productive. I hope that my experience was an anomaly and not reflective of the firm’s typical practices.

Professional and Prepared

Ms. Stilwell handled mainly contract issues for us. We were very pleased with her professionalism and her attention to detail.

The right person at the right time

I found myself in a terrible bind and Rachel saved the day. She was a pleasure to work with. She took time to explain all the issues in layman's terms and genuinely took a personal interest. She brought about a successful resolution for my problem.

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.
