Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have been practicing criminal law for 20 years. I know Paige as a leader in the Orange County legal community and as a great person. I sent my uncle to her when he needed a trust and my wife and I are going to have her do our trusts as well. Paige is very experienced in this area and you get the feeling she really cares deeply about each client. I would enthusiastically recommend this attorney for any probate, wills, trust or estates matter."

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.
