Client Review

I am a lawyer, but I know nothing about Family Law, so when I found myself needing help with my divorce I asked around. Pamela Canter came highly recommended, and I was not disappointed. She's very knowledgeable, compassionate, and efficient. Most importantly to me, she is committed to collaborative ...practice. Our divorce was not a pleasant experience, but neither was it the nightmare we'd both been anticipating. Pamela was very good at keeping the collaborative process on track, fostering dialogue between the parties, explaining everything in terms that both my ex-spouse (not a lawyer) and I could understand, and keeping the fees within reason. I was grateful for her help.

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.
