Client

Hiring Hailli was truly the best decision I made and in turn I achieved the best possible outcome available to me. From the beginning, I felt my relationship with Hailli was that of a personal one and when it was time to get to business Hailli did nothing short of quite literally, getting things done.... Both she and her assistant Yani always made themselves available to me and were very responsive throughout. They were excellent with the hand holding and explanations when needed and then taking things in to their own hands at the end to close things out. I was always informed of reasonable expectations I felt and of course had my fingers crossed for what the best possible outcome might be. In the end Hailli was able to convince the courts of what she was fighting for and what was best for me. She came recommended from a family friend/attorney and I would certainly recommend her to anyone in this same situation. Again, thank you Hailli, for everything!

Bankruptcy: Sometimes Necessary

My wife and I are more than pleased with the manner in which Halli handled our case. She was thorough in her research, and excellent in her representation. Additionally, her fees were modest in relation to the work done.

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.
