Excellent help with a teenage daughter

I was having a difficult time with my teenage daughter and turned to Ms. de Seve when her issues became serious. Not only was Ms. de Seve knowledgable about resources available to support my daughter she was always supportive, sympathetic and very responsive to our needs. Having had the help and gui...dance of this excellent attorney the outcome for my daughter was very positive and she is thriving today. I would highly recommend Ms. De Seve and would use her again without hesitation.

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.
