WRONGFULLY EXTREME.

I was shocked when Svetlana couture took things that happened and put an extreme spin on them in order to completely win over my ex during our custody battle. Thank goodness I have a moral compass and knew that I was the most fit parent and her illegal practices were entirely WRONG, EXTREME, and comp...letely not illegal. So if your looking to lie in court, hurt your children, and have someone completely defame your ex in a custody case she is the lawyer for you.

Dedication to clients

Svetlana is a great lawyer! She helped me get through a messy and lengthy custody battle. Her dedication to serving children is estounding! She comprehends finer points of such battle and her solutions are always focused on the best interests of the child. I hope I don't need her help again, but if ...I do - she is the one to call!

No nonsense attorney!

Svetlana gave me excellent advice and helped resolve a situation that could have become complicated, messy and expensive. She is a no-nonsense lawyer and is truly on her client's side. Highly recommend talking to her before you decide to engage a 'firm'. You'll save yourself thousands!

My Trusted Advisor

Svetlana Couture has become my trusted adviser, has an outstanding moral compass, and a fiercely loyal and talented attorney. At a time of personal chaos in my life, she gave me hope with her sound judgment and extended experience in the area of family law. With very emotional decisions to be made,... Ms. Couture was fair, honest and realistic in setting expectations in reference to her strategies. My family is my most precious possession and I trust Ms. Couture in representing me now and in the future.

Great lawyer!

I highly recommend Svetlana. She represented me in a civil matter with excellent outcome. Not only is she an excellent attorney but also she is a fantastic counselor at law, with clear sense of big picture and winning strategy, able and ready to execute. Because of that we were able to settle my c...ase with better results than expected. Also, she bills reasonably and accommodates payment needs without cutting back on her services, unlike other lawyers out there.

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.
