Highest recommendation

About ten years ago my sister and I set out to find an Elder Law Attorney for our Mother and Step Father. We interviewed numerous lawyers and finally decided on Fay Blix. We both feel it was one of the best decisions we made as we cared for our parents in their last years. Fay is highly knowlegable i...n her field and helped us navigate through some complex decisions. She has a real gift for simplifying legal information for her clients. She was very calm and reassuring during a difficult time for our family. I have since recommended Fay Blix with the utmost of confidence to friends who are caring for their parents. They all feel the same way.

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.
