Perfect 1st time attorney experience

Amy was my attorney for an estate settlement after my grandfather passed away last year. She helped guide me through the best way to handle the situation. There was a will and a trust, and another family member and his attorney involved. She did an amazing job, and we had great communication through ...it all. The end result was exactly how my Grandfather wanted it to be. Amy is amazing.

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.
