Relationship: Co-worker

"I have worked with Jill Scoby since 2009 in the corporate counsel environment. She practices in the employment/labor area. She does a fantastic job of translating complex ideas and concepts into the business arena, explaining to clients and peers the ramifications and implications of applicable legal concepts in a language that is readily understood by the business person. Jill is articulate and responsive and it has been a pleasure to work with her."

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.
