Highly Recommended Lawyer

Gretchen was everything I could have possibly wanted in a lawyer; she was extremely knowledgeable, professional, approachable and comforting, punctual and very reliable. I am a nurse and know very little about the criminal justice system and she made everything very understandable and put me at ease ...by making everything clear and concise. During a very difficult time in my life, she put me at ease and took care of EVERYTHING I needed her to and was really great with all the follow up after. I would highly recommend her to anyone and know that if I every need her services in the future that she is just a phone call away.

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.
