Her Knowledge Gave Me Confidence

I went to Valerie for advice to be sure I was doing everything possible to protect my son's interests in the divorce and she gave me a clear list of documents I needed to get signed to be sure I had what I needed should there be a fight in the next 18 years. She knows what she's doing and her calm de...meanor gave me confidence when officially filing my divorce. Highly, highly, highly recommend.

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.
