Great Attorney who cares for her clients

Yvonne is awesome. She was prepared, on time, and she was thorough. She went in and she made us feel secure in her ability and the way she presented our case. She brought all of our concerns to the judge's attention and were able to get more physical custody and 100% legal custody. We were ecstatic w...ith our results. I would highly recommend her to help you with your case. In the future if we have any concerns, we will be using her again.

Solid legal services

We received solid legal services from Ms. Rizzo. She informed us about our case at each step along the way. We did not have to call with questions because she was keeping us updated through emails and phone calls. We appreciated the professionalism and timeliness of her services.

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.
