Lifesaver

Ms Mass is the most amazing attorney I've ever met. Her personality, knowledge, her detail oriented, and special care for me as her client make me felt so safe and secure. She gave me direct answers Yes or No. She gave me the knowledge about the law, things that I can do or can not do. She gave me he...r opinions but never push me to make any decision by her. She helped me be able to fall asleep at night knowing that I am in a good hand and she is really taking care of me. My divorce was finalized and I super happy with my settlement. I got everything that I've asked for. Big thanks to Ms Mass for helping me closed the chapter and start my my life. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

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.
