Excellent

Valerie was incredible to work with! She answered all my legal questions, helped me strategize, and identify issues at my work place. Her expertise in the subject matter informed my decisions and pushed my case forward. After meeting her and Jessica, I felt intellectually empowered to address other ...illegal work conditions. I highly recommend the firm Rukin Hyland & Riggin.

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.
