Responsive, thorough, pleasant

Justine was great through my case (a bit of a confusing and unusual one, being an annulment). Her advice was always on point and she was super responsive with communications. Highly recommend!

Great consultant and lawyer

Justine did an amazing job guiding us through our case. She is understanding, personable, and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her!

The best of the best!

Justine helped with my case for over a year. She always responded quickly with any questions I had and gave great advice on what to expect in court. We were able to get the custody agreement I wanted and helped me feel sane while dealing with the stress of court. I highly recommend Justine and am sad... to close out my case with her.

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.
