Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Lisa Maxfield combines two qualities not often found together in defense lawyers: she pays an extraordinary amount of attention to detail and she is magic in front of a jury. Lawyers often possess one or the other. As a result of having both, as well as her other extraordinary skills, she commands a courtroom like no other attorney I know."

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.
