Over and above, thorough, timely

Suzie was contracted to help us change my daughter's get her name (age 11). It was a source of pain, explanation and embarrassment for her primarily in school where her legal name had to be displayed. Suzie was very thorough, taking all the steps required and keeping us in the loop each step of the w...ay. I can not express my gratitude enough the official documents came through today my daughter is thrilled just in time to start her new school in a new place. Highly recommend!

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.
