Excellent!

I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Smith for several years. I am a criminal defense attorney myself and routinely hire Ms. Smith to handle cases. She is tenacious and thorough and gets excellent results. I refer others to her and always get great feedback on her legal skills and profession...al demeanor. In trouble? Call Ms. Smith!

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.
