This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Attorney!

Mrs. Agnich really took the time to understand my case and is very knowledgeable in criminal law. She gave me great advise and kept me well informed throughout my case. I feel she went above and beyond what I originally expected of her. She fought hard for me and I would recommend her to anyone look...ing for a great lawyer for a reasonable price.

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.
