Skilled, Knowledgeable and Understanding

Abby was a great asset during my dissolution efforts. She proved to be very knowledgeable, and was willing to answer my questions in a straight forward and clear style. There seems to be an interesting trend among attorneys in which they find it necessary to flip some sort of "psychological switch"..., and become faceless, emotionless, money driven legal robots. Abby, fortunately, does not suffer from this ego driven facade. Instead, Abby obtains results by relying on her knowledge of the law, and her ability to communicate in a clear and concise manner. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Abby for family law matters, and am thankful to have had her assistance throughout my case.

M.D.

I had consultation with Attorney Abby Bekele about my divorce issue. She is not only a lawyer that can talk to you like a person, but also she is intelligent and knowledgeable. She is calming and reassuring. Seriously thank you so much for the kind care and help!!!

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.
