THANK YOU ARELIS

I first met and retained Arelis over 10 years ago as I went through what proved to be a very brutal divorce. My lovely ex-wife had sadly been drawn in to the emotional drama of divorce and through her attorneys waged war against me and our community assets. Arelis was always the voice of reason as ...I constantly wanted to fire back and be reactive to the constant legal harassment I was subject to. Following Arelis direction eventually allowed my case to settle outside of an expensive trial. To this day, I am very THANKFUL I found Arelis!! Recently I referred a good friend of mine to Arelis and accompanied him to his free consultation. I personally called Arelis the next day to THANK HER and CONGRATULATE for not getting caught up on the darkside of family law whereas everything is about making money - with little or no regard to the client. Arelis was as I remembered her 10 years ago - HONEST & ETHICAL with GREAT ADVICE to minimize the legal and emotional expense divorce can cause. She advocates SETTLING CASES fairly outside of the courthouse to ensure her clients have a good opportunity to control their destiny versus having it decided for them. THANK YOU AGAIN ARELIS!!!

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.
