An attorney of highest integrity

Mrs. Bazhenoa is an attorney of a highest integrity. Not only she is very knowledgeable in her field, but she is also a very caring person and try to do best for her clients. She was very patient and kind with me, explaining the details of the matter at hand and suggesting the best venue to follow.... She makes relationships with clients very personal, which we see rapidly disappearing in every field. I am very grateful to to Mrs. Bahzenova and would recommend her to all my relatives and friends.

She gave me Peace of mind

Ms. Bajanova has rendered great help and very efficient and thoughtful advice on my prenuptial Agreement and other marital affairs of mine. She elevated all my fears and concerns and gave me peace of mind and very useful strategy to handle all the "touchy issues" with my spouse. From her, I have lear...ned and understood all the necessary provisions of law, including all the important paperwork that I need and should sign, and those papers that I should never sign without legal advice. Her knowledge of Russian language helped immensely! I know for a fact now that Ms. Bajanova knows her business and will make sure her client knows and understands what she or he is doing too. With lots of gratitude.

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.
