Great Family Law Attorney

Great service. I highly recommend Yvonne Rizzo to anyone looking for a family law attorney. Knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with. Yvonne is an expert in her field. She explained the issues and made me feel confident about my case. I felt so lucky to have her on my side.

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.
