Phenomenal Lawyer and Person!

I hired Phoenix to help me with a very difficult custody case, and I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. Her attention to detail, her kindness and patience, as well as her willingness to walk me through the process to make sure that I understood each step rather than just dictating to me what to... do were all absolutely wonderful. I learned so much through working with her, and felt empowered through the entire process. I would recommend Phoenix to anyone I know looking for a family lawyer!

I worked with Phoenix on several different items including QDROs for my divorce, and mine and my mother's wills. Phoenix is professional, timely, and a great communicator. She has a ton of patience to see things through to the end, is able navigate complex and nuanced issues, and an effective and gra...cious communicator. I think her rates are reasonable and I appreciated being able to pay as I go. I am super happy with the services I received from Phoenix, and of course I don't want to have to work with her again- but if I do, I would absolutely hire her right away! Phoenix is empathetic and trustworthy. She was a real advocate for me in my situations and I value her experience and expertise.

Phoenix is everything I wanted in a Family Law attorney. She is experienced, knowledgable, kind, supportive, and is excellent at communicating clearly what to expect. She also has a talent for encouraging and uplifting me during the difficult and stressful times of negotiating custody.

Incredible Help with Custody Issues

When our family was presented with a surprise grandchild and a mother who wasn't ready to be part of the situation, Phoenix steered my son through all the legal hurdles necessary to become the legal father and assume custody. She knew exactly what to do, and was able to advise him at an incredible l...evel of detail, down to which papers were best delivered by hand and which should be faxed at our particular courthouse. She was incredibly patient throughout the process, and checked up on the progress frequently. Chloe is now my son's legal daughter, and he was able to request the birth certificates, sign her up for child care and medical assistance, and collect government benefits. It wouldn't have been possible without Phoenix's help. Her legal services are affordable and worth more than what she charges. She is one of the good ones, who really are in the legal profession to help people. Our family is extremely thankful that Phoenix was there for us, and would highly recommend her for any family law issue.

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.
